"Armed gangs continue to compete for control of territory in the metropolitan area of Port-au-Prince and are now spreading to neighborhoods hitherto spared [...] clashes are more violent and more frequent" between gangs and with the police [...]" Highlighting the rapid increase in murders and kidnappings in the country. "Between January 1 and March 31, the number of reported homicides increased in the country by 21% compared to the previous quarter (815 killed against 673) and the number of kidnappings by 63% (637 against 391)." "The Haitian people remain in the grip of one of the worst human rights crises in decades and a major humanitarian emergency [...] the situation of people living in areas controlled by armed gangs remains absolutely appalling [...] in areas recently targeted by the gangs, the situation is deteriorating drastically," the report continued. "[...] With the high number of fatalities and increasing areas under the control of armed gangs, insecurity in the capital has reached levels comparable to countries in armed conflict [...]" Antonio Guterres reiterated in his report to the Security Council that the deployment of an international force is "crucial".
