Open the full Haiti tracker →Current situation
Armed gang coalitions — led by the Viv Ansanm federation — control an estimated 85–90% of Port-au-Prince and have pushed into the Artibonite, Centre and Grand Nord departments, sustaining a near-total collapse of state authority and a record humanitarian emergency (the IOM estimated about 1.5 million people internally displaced as of June 2026). Under UN Security Council Resolution 2793, the Kenya-led Multinational Security Support mission began transitioning in 2026 into a UN-backed Gang Suppression Force, which remained in early deployment with under 1,000 troops on the ground.
Key actors: Haitian National Police — the principal state security force. Armed gangs and coalitions (Viv Ansanm) — controlling most of the capital and expanding into central Haiti. Gang Suppression Force (formerly the MSS mission) — a UN-backed international force supporting the police. Civilian population — facing displacement, hunger, and violence.
What's at stake: State survival — restoring basic governance and security. Humanitarian emergency — hunger, displacement, and disease. Political transition — prospects for stability and elections. Regional impact — migration and Caribbean security.
