The night assault on September 11 is the last in a series of brutal incidents and current gang violence that have tormented the country since last year.
In a statement issued by his spokesman, Mr. Guterres expressed “sincere condolences” to the families of the victims and urged the Haitian authorities to continue justice.
“The secretary general is alarmed by the levels of violence that were swaying in Haiti,” said Stéphane Dujarric. “He calls on Member States to accelerate support for the multinational security support mission to help the Haitian national police.”
Barely two weeks ago, Mr. Guterres addressed the UN Security Council a dark image of the detangled state of Haiti. “State authority collapses,” he said, while armed groups are tightening their grip on the regions of Port-au-Prince and surrounding, forcing families to flee and disturbing daily life.
With six million people who need help and 1.3 million inappropriate, Haiti’s humanitarian crisis is deepened. However, less than 10% of the call of $ 908 million was funded. “Shamefully neglected and terribly underfunded,” said the UN chief, warning that 1.7 million people cannot receive any help.
