[HIGHLIGHTS] Lynchings, families fleeing by the dozens: insecurity worthy of an "armed conflict" in Haiti

The UN was alarmed, in a report published Monday, of an insecurity worthy of an "armed conflict" in Haiti. On the same day, a dozen suspected gang members were lynched by residents in Port-au-Prince.

"The Haitian people remain in the grip of one of the worst human rights crises in decades and a major humanitarian emergency," Secretary-General Antonio Guterres' report said.Between 1 January and 31 March, the number of reported homicides in the country increased by 21 per cent compared to the previous quarter.
