  "account": "Nearly 200,000 individuals were forcibly returned to Haiti during the first eight months of 2026, according to an emergency UN Security Council meeting. This figure represents a 10% increase compared to the same period in 2025. The attack in Kenscoff, near Haiti's capital, Port-au-Prince, resulted in 47 deaths and highlighted the ongoing gang violence in the country. Acting UN Assistant Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs, Indrika Ratwatte, emphasized the dire situation in Haiti, stating that the country lacks resources to assist those being deported. Out of Haiti's 12 million population, nearly 1.5 million people are internally displaced, with half of them being children, and the conditions in many displacement sites are described as squalid. The UN Security Council will vote on renewing the mandate of the Gang Suppression Force (GSF) at the end of next month, a multinational force authorized in 2025 to combat gang violence in Haiti.",
