The streets of the city of Cap Haitien are overheated, barricades of burning tires are erected in every corner of the city, according to local press reports.
UN insists on the need to militarize
United Nations (UN) Secretary-General António Guterres reiterated his call for "armed action" in Haiti on Monday to open a humanitarian corridor to assist the Caribbean nation's population.
"We need armed action to liberate the port and allow a complete humanitarian corridor to be established," Guterres announced during a press conference, quoted by Sputnik.
This is not the first time that the UN has called for armed action to solve the crisis in Haiti, following the scarcity and high cost of products.
On October 10, Guterres submitted a letter to the Security Council in which he proposes the immediate dispatch of a rapid action force to Haiti following his government's request for help at a time when gangs and protesters have paralyzed the country.
The letter, which has not been made public but was seen by The Associated Press, indicates that one or more member states would deploy a rapid action force to assist the Haitian National Police.
Such a force would "end the threat posed by armed gangs and provide immediate protection to critical infrastructure and services," in addition to ensuring "the free flow of water, fuel, and medical supplies from major air and sea ports to communities and centers of Health".
