It was the fifth prison break in under a year and \u201cpart of a deliberate effort to entrench dominance, dismantle institutions and instil fear\u201d, she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cArmed gangs have also been increasingly battling for control of the capital, Port-au-Prince, with violence intensifying as rival gangs attempt to establish new territories,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Meanwhile, a\u00a0Kenyan-led force authorised by the UN has failed to push back the gangs since the deployment began in June of last year. The mission has about 1,000 police officers from six countries, short of the 2,500 originally planned.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report went on to state that\u00a0Kenya\u2019s national security adviser, Monica Juma, told the council in a video briefing from Nairobi that the force has entered \u201ca decisive phase of its operation\u201d where gangs are coordinating operations and attacking people and strategic installations, and targeting the political establishment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the Haitian police and the multinational force have launched intensive anti-gang operations and achieved some notable progress, especially in securing critical infrastructure, she said a significant gap exists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It said additionally,\u00a0UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has also warned that further international support was \u201crequired immediately to allow the national police to prevent the capital slipping closer to the brink\u201d, according to an unpublished report seen by the AFP news agency.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The report detailed the surge in violence, with the UN recording 2,660 homicides in the three months since December 2024 \u2013 a 41.3 percent increase over the previous quarter.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the report also pointed to a high civilian toll in efforts to counter the gangs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">During the period, anti-gang operations resulted in 702 people killed, with 21 percent estimated to be innocent civilians, the report said.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There was also an alarming increase in gender-based violence, with 347 incidents reported in the five months to February 2025, according to the UN data.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Collective rape was the most common violation, accounting for 61 percent of cases.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Haiti is approaching a \u201cpoint of no return\u201d as it struggles to respond to escalating gang violence, the top United Nations\u00a0(UN)\u00a0official in the country has said.
