According to the UN, the level of security in Haiti is declining, and the severity of the violence has caused fear among the people of Haiti. Haiti’s special representative, María Isabel Salvador, told the Security Council that it is more important than ever to increase international aid to the country and asked member states to back the 2025 Humanitarian Response Plan.
Salvador commended Kenya’s steadfast leadership and thank all contributing member states. ‘Haiti’s humanitarian crisis has reached critical levels,” Salvador said. She added that all member states must increase support to Haiti security forces, particularly the Multinational Security Support Mission, “not as a matter of choice, but of necessity as no viable alternative remains” Kenya’s advisor to the president said an urgent expansion of the MSS personnel is essential in order to deliver the intended impact and meet the legitimate high expectations of the Haitian people.
Haiti’s ambassador Ericq Pierre, said Haiti is prepared to discuss and support, as appropriate, any initiatives of its traditional partners aimed at helping rid the country of gangs that terrorize the population.
