The hu­man­i­tar­i­an com­mu­ni­ty in this French-speak­ing Caribbean Com­mu­ni­ty (CARI­COM), mem­ber state,  has ex­pressed deep con­cern over es­ca­lat­ing vi­o­lence, par­tic­u­lar­ly mas­sacres and gang at­tacks, which have led to in­creas­ing ca­su­al­ties and mass dis­place­ment.

Since late Jan­u­ary, more than 6,000 peo­ple have been forced to flee their homes, in­clud­ing over 2,000 in Del­mas, Port-au-Prince, and Pé­tion-Ville, and 4,100 in Ken­scoff.

Fam­i­lies have al­so been bru­tal­ly killed, in­clud­ing chil­dren and in­fants at­tempt­ing to es­cape.
