UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres visited Haiti on Tuesday as gang violence continues to drive a humanitarian crisis in the country.
Guterres arrived in Port-au-Prince amid ongoing violence by armed groups. The United Nations reported that 2,300 people have been killed and 100 kidnapped in Haiti this year. 5 million people have been forced from their homes, representing more than one in 10 Haitians. A senior defence ministry official was abducted last week.
A new gang-suppression force is scheduled for deployment in the land.
Visit comes as international efforts continue to address the security vacuum left by insufficient police presence.
