The U.S. needs a plan to stop Haiti's free fall
The crisis in Haiti is worsening by the day, pushing the Western Hemisphere's poorest, most unfortunate country to the brink of collapse. In just the first three months of this year, more than 1,600 people have been killed in gang-related violence. More than 1 million people have been displaced. Women and girls especially are left vulnerable to sexual violence. Gangs control around 85 percent of the capital, Port-au-Prince. Town after town is falling under the control of gangs, which conduct prison raids to free inmates and bolster their ranks.
