The United Nations has raised alarm over the deteriorating security in Haiti, just ten days before the mission's mandate ends.
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned that the mission's impact on Haiti's security could be short-lived due to inadequate resources.
His sentiments were backed by the UN's Assistant Secretary-General representing Europe, Central Asia and America, Miroslav Jenča, who noted that the Caribbean country had witnessed a sharp erosion of the rule of law as the gangs continued to grow in power.
According to Jenča, operations in Haiti's Capital, Port-au-Prince, have been paralysed with over 85 per cent of the city, including key government amenities, taken over by the dreaded gangs.
