Pope Leo described the humanitarian and security situation in Haiti as “increasingly desperate,” highlighting disturbing reports of mass violence, forced displacements, kidnappings, and human trafficking. In a public appeal, he called for the immediate release of hostages and pressed the international community to act swiftly:
“I make a heartfelt appeal to all responsible to release the hostages immediately, and I ask for the concrete support of the international community in creating social and institutional conditions that will allow Haitians to live in peace,” said Pope Leo.
Over the weekend, the Haitian government announced a three-month state of emergency, covering the West, Artibonite, and Center departments. These regions have been severely affected by gang violence, particularly Artibonite—Haiti's main rice-growing area—where armed groups have terrorized farming communities and crippled agricultural production.
Authorities say the emergency measures aim to combat insecurity and address a deepening food and agricultural crisis that has worsened in recent months.
According to the United Nations human rights office, more than 1,000 people were killed, 200 injured, and over 600 kidnapped between October 2024 and June 2025 in the affected regions. The violence has driven up food prices and forced thousands to rely on humanitarian aid, with entire communities displaced due to coordinated gang attacks.
Kenya, leading the UN-backed Multinational Security Support (MSS) mission, has deployed police officers to support Haiti’s security forces. The Kenyan contingent continues patrolling areas of Port-au-Prince and has reported significant progress in curbing gang activities.
Jack Ombaka, MSS Spokesperson, stated that joint operations between Kenyan and Haitian forces have intensified, particularly in high-risk zones.
Despite these efforts, rights groups and international observers warn that the rapidly deteriorating situation could undermine progress made by MSS forces. They are calling for increased global attention, resources, and coordinated strategies to stabilize Haiti and restore basic living conditions.
