Looting, fuel shortages, closed hospitals, escalating violence. Here is everything that
00:04
is happening right now in Haiti. Earlier this week, UN officials said the Caribbean country
00:08
is virtually ungovernable and faces a humanitarian catastrophe. On September 11th, Prime Minister
00:14
Ariel Henry announced an increase in fuel prices as subsidies were costing the government too much.
00:19
Since then, violent demonstrations have taken place across Haiti. Transportation is no longer
00:23
available, roads are blocked by barricades, and embassies in Port-au-Prince are closed.
00:27
Families are unable to get food or water, and the start of the school year has been postponed
00:31
to October 3rd. An economic crisis, a gang crisis, and a political crisis have converged into a
00:37
humanitarian catastrophe, said the UN Special Representative in Haiti, Helen Lalim. This
00:41
humanitarian crisis is exacerbated by the violence of armed gangs. The UN system in Haiti estimates
00:47
at least 1.5 million people have been directly impacted by recent gang violence. In July,
00:52
the Security Council passed a resolution calling to ban the transfer of small arms to gangs
00:56
operating in Haiti.
