Haiti is experiencing a dramatic deterioration in its security situation, according to a new report from Human Rights Watch (HRW). The organization has issued a stark warning that the country is on the brink of a full-blown humanitarian crisis, with violence escalating at an alarming rate. HRW attributes the escalating violence to several contributing factors: the ongoing political instability following the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in July 2021; the persistent struggle for control between rival gangs; and a deteriorating economic situation that has fueled poverty, despair, and crime.
