The Spin

Just days after PM Fils-Aimé's inauguration, violence has spiraled out of control, with Jimmy "Barbecue" Chérizier's gang forcing 20K more from their homes in a week. Over 700K are now displaced, and aid delivery has become too dangerous. With insufficient police to restore order, Haiti faces a deepening humanitarian crisis. The world must act urgently to provide the help Haiti desperately needs.
