Deputy U.N. chief Amina Mohammed on Wednesday urged countries to urgently consider Haiti's request for an international specialized armed force to help restore security in the Caribbean state and alleviate a humanitarian crisis.
"Now is certainly not the time for the world to turn away from Haiti," she told the U.N. Security Council. "It is time to step up and turn the current crisis into an opportunity for Haiti to bounce back stronger."
In September, Haitian gangs created a humanitarian crisis by blocking a fuel terminal for nearly six weeks, halting most economic activity.that one or several countries send "a rapid action force" to help Haiti's police remove a threat posed by armed gangs. He was not suggesting that the force be deployed by the United Nations.
U.S. Deputy U.N. Ambassador Robert Wood told the Security Council that Washington continues "to advocate for international security support, including a non-U.N. multinational force, as requested by the Haitian government."
