	250,000 protestors march in Madrid against privatisation of public health system by Euractive, OHCHR, ICJ, agencies   13 Feb. 2023   250,000 protestors march in Madrid against privatisation of public health system. (Euractive)   About 250,000 people took to the streets of Madrid on Sunday to defend the public health system, protesting against the ‘dismantling’ of the primary care network in the Spanish capital carried out by the right-wing regional president, Isabel Diaz Ayuso, organisers said.   Protests under the motto “Madrid stands up and demands public health and solutions to the Primary Care Plan” began in different parts of the city on Sunday at noon.   According to official sources, 250,000 people participated in the protests, though organisers put the figure at about one million, local media reported.   Demonstrators, including doctors, nurses, and ordinary citizens, chanted slogans such as “Public health”, “This way, this way, not a step back, we will win this fight”, “The people united will never be defeated”, “Ayuso, coward, the people are on fire”, and “Ayuso and his government can go to hell”.   The Red de Solidaridad Popular de Latina y Carabanchel and several other local civil society platform groups organised the demonstration.   In a manifesto, the organisers pointed out that “the health policy of the Comunidad de Madrid, which has a total of 6.6 million inhabitants, is aimed at guaranteeing the profits of companies and health lobbies, instead of being focused on caring for all people and guaranteeing our right to health.”   Protestors urged the regional government to invest at least 25% of its health budget in primary care and public health protection.   To do so, it should repeal the laws that allow the privatisation of healthcare, as well as increase staffing levels in health centres, hospitals and emergency wards with “dignified and stable” contracts to stop the loss of health professionals from Madrid to other Spanish regions and other EU countries.   “Here, we are not only defending the right to public healthcare, but we are also protecting the right to a fairer and more democratic society”, the manifesto reads. “Health is a right that can only be guaranteed through public equity”, it adds.   After recalling that in November 2022, hundreds of thousands of people demonstrated in Madrid’s city centre to defend the public health system, they pointed out that in the last three months, “the deterioration (of Madrid’s health services) has grown exponentially.”   There has been an increase in the number of unfilled vacancies in many regional health centres, while regional health authorities, according to the organisers, have “dismantled the primary care emergency (centres), creating chaos in both rural and urban services.”   Left-wing parties and trade unions also backed the protest. The leader of left-wing Mas País (More Country), Inigo Errejon, urged the Madrid regional government to halt its “cruel and unjust plan to demolish public health”.   “We want to live in a place where your health does not depend on your money, we want to live in a place where your wellbeing and peace of mind do not depend on your money, in a society where you can live in peace, and that does not depend on where you were born, what your surname is or what you have inherited”, Errejon underlined.   http://www.euractiv.com/section/politics/news/madrid-protestors-stand-up-against-privatisation-of-public-health/ http://www.gi-escr.org/publications/compendium-of-united-nations-human-rights-treaty-bodies-statements-on-private-actors-in-healthcare http://www.gi-escr.org/private-actors-public-services http://futureispublic.org/global-manifesto/manifesto-en/   * In 2018, The Audit Chamber of the Autonomous Community of Madrid found that health services delivered in Private Public Partnership schemes are six times more expensive than health services delivered by the public sector: http://www.eldiario.es/madrid/fundacion-jimenez-diaz-comunidad-madrid_1_1929596.html http://www.eurodad.org/historyrepppeated2 http://bit.ly/3RXjWDj   * United Nations human rights experts warning on the threat that financial speculation poses to the enjoyment of a range of human rights: http://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2021/10/joint-statement-independent-united-nations-human-rights-experts-warning-threat   Feb. 2023   As Myanmar crisis enters third year, Special Envoy Heyzer urgently calls for international unity on humanitarian aid, stance on elections and civilian protection   BANGKOK – The Special Envoy of the United Nations Secretary-General on Myanmar Noeleen Heyzer today highlighted key areas for concrete action where greater regional and international unity can support a Myanmar-led process to end the violence and suffering and help Myanmar return to the path of democracy guided by the will of the people.   In her urgent call, the Special Envoy focused on humanitarian aid without discrimination and through all available channels, a unified position on the military’s plans for elections, and protection of civilians including both people inside Myanmar and refugees.   Over the past two years, the military’s disruption of Myanmar’s democratic transition has inflicted enormous damage on the country and people, and led to a multidimensional crisis spanning severe humanitarian, human rights and socio-economic consequences with serious regional ramifications.   As of the end of last year, 15.2 million people were food insecure, more than 1.5 million internally displaced and an estimated 34,000 civilian structures had been destroyed since the military takeover.   The Rohingya people in refugee camps and those remaining in the country, as well as other marginalized communities, are at heightened risk with 2022 marking one of the deadliest years for people forced to undertake perilous sea journeys.   The Special Envoy renewed the United Nations’ solidarity with the people of Myanmar and the need for protection of all communities, which the United Nations Secretary-General reinforced in his recent statement.   She reiterated the Secretary-General’s concern regarding the military’s stated intention to hold elections, which threatens to worsen the violence and instability in the absence of inclusive political dialogue and conditions that permit citizens to freely exercise their political rights without fear or intimidation.   The Special Envoy urgently calls for greater unity and commitment among the international community in three key areas:   First, the international community, and particularly donors and Myanmar’s neighbours, must come together with humanitarian actors including local humanitarian networks to scale up urgently needed assistance to all those in need without discrimination and through all available channels. A commitment to increase levels of cross-border aid, along with more flexible banking and reporting rules, will facilitate humanitarian support to people most in need.   Second, the international community must forge a stronger unified position regarding the military’s potential elections which will fuel greater violence, prolong the conflict and make the return to democracy and stability more difficult.   Third, the international community must implement measures to increase protection for civilians inside Myanmar as well as for Myanmar refugees in the wider region. Such measures could include an on-the-ground monitoring mechanism as part of the implementation of ASEAN’s Five-Point Consensus and its commitment to stop the violence in Myanmar, and regional frameworks for the protection of refugees and forcibly displaced people.   “It is inconceivable any form of peaceful and democratic transition can be initiated by those perpetrating harm on their own citizens,” Special Envoy Heyzer said. “The violence has to stop, including the aerial bombings and burning of civilian infrastructure along with military’s ongoing arrests of political leaders, civil society actors and journalists.”   http://www.ohchr.org/en/press-briefing-notes/2023/06/myanmar-dire-humanitarian-and-human-rights-situation-compounded http://myanmar.un.org/en/217185-media-advisory-myanmar-crisis-enters-third-year-special-envoy-heyzer-urgently-calls http://news.un.org/en/story/2023/01/1133027 http://www.ohchr.org/en/documents/country-reports/ahrc5221-situation-human-rights-myanmar-1-february-2022-report-united http://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/01/two-years-after-coup-myanmar-faces-unimaginable-regression-says-un-human http://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/01/myanmar-un-experts-report-highlights-juntas-fraudulent-claim-legitimacy http://www.icj.org/myanmar-two-years-after-the-coup-country-further-than-ever-from-democracy-and-the-rule-of-law/ http://www.globalr2p.org/publications/outcomes-from-strategizing-a-new-response-to-the-crisis-in-myanmar/   Feb. 2023   Tunisia arrests more prominent opponents of president Kais Saied. (Reuters)   Tunisian police on Monday detained two prominent critics of President Kais Saied and the head of a radio station that has broadcast criticism of the president, part of a wave of arrests targeting politicians and other critics of the government.   Police raided the house of Noureddine Bhiri, a senior official in the biggest opposition party Ennahda and a prominent critic of Saied, and took him away, his lawyer Samir Dilou said by phone.   Authorities also raided the house of Mosaique FM head Noureddine Boutar, whose radio station has frequently broadcast criticism of Saied, and arrested him after searching his home, his lawyer Dalila Ben Mbarek said.   Police also detained political activist and lawyer Lazhar Akremi, lawyers and opposition activists said.   Since Saturday, police have detained numerous figures that have voiced opposition to Saied or sought to mobilise protests against him.   They included a prominent business leader, a former finance minister, another former senior Ennahda official, two judges and a former diplomat.   Saied suddenly shut down parliament, dismissed the government and moved to rule by decree in July 2021 before rewriting the constitution, moves his critics called a coup that pulled apart the democracy built after a 2011 revolution. State television has largely stopped broadcasting interviews with critics of the president.   http://www.ohchr.org/en/press-briefing-notes/2023/02/arrest-perceived-political-opponents-and-civil-society-tunisia http://www.france24.com/en/live-news/20240516-tunisia-lawyers-protest-after-colleagues-arrested http://www.icj.org/tunisia-the-authorities-must-release-opposition-figures-and-end-politically-motivated-prosecutions/   Nov. 2022   Tunisia: International Commission of Jurists (ICJ) urges the authorities to halt attacks on the rule of law and address the concerns raised during the Universal Periodic Review.   The ICJ calls on the Tunisian authorities to accept the recommendations made by various UN Member States during the Universal Periodic Review (UPR), and urgently address the acute rule of law crisis in the country.   On 8 November 2022, during Tunisia’s fourth UPR, UN Member States expressed concern about the deterioration of the human rights situation in Tunisia, and, among other issues, urged the Tunisian authorities to:   Uphold the separation of powers, the rule of law and the independence of the judiciary; End all violations of the rights to a fair trial and to freedom of expression; and protect the rights to freedom of assembly and association.   “Tunisia has been in a state of exception for over a year. Unless a democratic Constitutional order that guarantees the right of all Tunisians to take part in the conduct of public affairs is re-established in full respect of the rule of law, the separation of powers and judicial independence, Tunisia’s human rights pledges will remain mere lip service.” said Said Benarbia, Director of the ICJ MENA programme.   At least 11 Member States expressed concern over the increasing practice of prosecuting civilians, notably journalists and human rights defenders, before military tribunals, and called for the Military Justice Code to be amended to end this practice.   The ICJ urges Tunisia to accept these recommendations and immediately end all ongoing trials of civilians in military courts, including by taking concrete steps to explicitly restrict the military tribunals’ jurisdiction exclusively to cases involving members of the armed forces for specifically, narrowly defined, military offences.   Of particular concern during this UPR session was the dismantling of judicial independence and the continuous interference of the executive with the judiciary since President Kais Saied’s power grab of 25 July 2021. Indeed, at least 10 Member States raised concern about the independence of the judiciary.   The ICJ calls on Tunisia to revoke Presidential Decree 2022-11 on the establishment of a Temporary High Judicial Council and Decree 2022-35 giving the President the power to unilaterally dismiss judges without due legal process; and to reinstate the judges summarily dismissed by presidential decree on 1 June 2022.   To comply with international standards, the Tunisian authorities must end any executive interference in aspects related to the selection, appointment, transfer and disciplining of judges. To this end, they must immediately end the President’s powers in relation to the suspension or removal of judges; end all forms of harassment or reprisal against Tunisian judges asserting their independence exercising their freedom of association , and they must respect the right of all members of the judiciary to the freedom of expression, association, and assembly.   Freedom of expression in Tunisia is threatened by a draconian Decree 2022-54, promulgated on 13 September 2022 by President Saied. During Tunisia’s UPR, more than five States expressed concern over this Decree that allows authorities to control what people, including journalists and human rights defenders, say online and offline, and under which they risk being punished if what they say is deemed critical of public officials, in violation of Tunisia’s obligations under international human rights law.   The ICJ calls on the Tunisian authorities to revoke this decree and drop all charges against anyone being prosecuted solely for the legitimate exercise of their freedom of expression.   Finally, the ICJ notes that the UN Special Rapporteur on the Independence of Judges and Lawyers made two visit requests to Tunisia during the last year. As the Tunisian authorities have failed to respond to these requests, the Special rapporteur has not been able to conduct an official visit to Tunisia. This is the first time that a UN expert is not able to visit the country since Tunisia extended an open invitation to all UN Special Procedures in February 2011.   “Instead of closing the door to the Special Procedures of the Human Rights Council, the Tunisian authorities must reverse their course and show courage and political will in addressing the serious human rights concerns expressed by States and other stakeholders.”   * The Universal Periodic Review (UPR) process is an opportunity for United Nations Member States to examine each other’s human rights records and offer recommendations. All States go through the UPR process every six years.   Since 25 July 2021, President Saied has taken steps that have served to effectively dismantle the rule of law in Tunisia. They have weakened judicial independence and the judicial protection of human rights, restricted the civic space and stifled the exercise of freedom of expression, including dissent.   Military courts in Tunisia are increasingly targeting civilians, in some cases for publicly criticizing President Kais Saied since he assumed sweeping new powers on 25 July 2021, and targeting lawyers who are acting as the last line of defence against the increasing crackdown on the rule of law and human rights and freedoms. According to the Tunis section of the Tunisian National Bar Association, prosecutions against lawyers have increased, in particular under the recent cybercrime Decree-Law N°54.   http://www.icj.org/tunisia-icj-urges-the-authorities-to-halt-attacks-on-the-rule-of-law-and-address-the-concerns-raised-during-the-universal-periodic-review/ http://www.icj.org/tunisia-the-authorities-must-halt-all-forcible-removals-of-foreign-nationals-in-violation-of-international-law-and-stop-intimidating-associations-working-on-asylum-and-migration/
	Action urgently needed to help Haiti address violence and insecurity by OHCHR, Unicef, agencies   Apr. 2023   ‘Unprecedented insecurity’ in Haiti requires urgent action: UN envoy   The rapidly deteriorating security situation in Haiti demands that the country remains at the centre of international attention and action, newly appointed UN Special Representative Maria Isabel Salvador said in her briefing to the UN Security Council.   Gang violence is expanding at an alarming rate in areas previously considered relatively safe in the capital, Port-au-Prince, and outside the city, with a shocking increase in criminality and abuses, and a police force that is unable to handle the situation.   At the same time, almost half the population, 5.2 million people, needs humanitarian aid, amid an ongoing cholera epidemic that has generated nearly 40,000 suspected cases since October.   She warned that any further delay in addressing the “unprecedented insecurity” in Haiti could lead to a spill-over in the region. “Time is of the essence, and the Haitian people deserve your urgent action. If not supported, the vicious circle of violence, political, social, and economic crisis, in which the people struggle every day, will continue,” she said.   Ms. Salvador was appointed in March and took up her post this month. She spent the first week meeting with civil society representatives, particularly women’s groups, national authorities and senior government officials.   “During my initial exchanges and interactions, I observed that a path for Haitians to engage in dialogue towards restoring democratic institutions in the country has been charted. However, the general sentiment is that it will be difficult to move forward without effectively addressing rampant insecurity,” she said.   She told ambassadors that the horrific violence in gang-ridden areas, including sexual violence particularly targeting women and girls, is emblematic of the terror afflicting much of the population. During the first quarter of the year, 1,647 criminal incidents - homicides, rapes, kidnappings and lynching – were recorded, according to data from the Haitian National Police and the UN mission in the country, BINUH, which she heads.   The figure is more than double the number recorded during the same period in 2022, and last month saw the highest incident rates in nearly two decades.   The Haitian National Police is severely understaffed and ill-equipped to address the violence and criminality, she said.   “I would like to emphasize the urgent need for the deployment, authorized by the Security Council, of an international specialized force, as articulated by the Secretary-General in October 2022. We need to find innovative ways to define the force to support the Haitian National Police”.   Haitians continue to suffer one of the worst human rights crises in decades, with people living in areas under gang control exposed to the highest rate of abuses.   Gangs continue to use sexual violence, including gang rape, to terrorize and inflict pain on populations living in areas controlled by their rivals. They have also inflicted other forms of sexual violence and exploitation against women and girls living in communities under their influence.   Ms. Salvador said children are among the victims of the most heinous crimes, including killings, kidnappings and rape. They have been struck by stray bullets while in class or when being dropped off at school.   Many schools were forced to close last year due to the violence and extortion by gangs. Although some have reopened, many students have not returned, either because of insecurity or inability to pay.   http://www.unicef.org/press-releases/unicef-executive-director-catherine-russells-remarks-haiti-daily-press-briefing http://www.wfp.org/stories/unseen-and-unheard-haiti-weathers-hunger-gangs-and-climate-extremes http://news.un.org/en/story/2023/06/1138212 http://news.un.org/en/story/2023/04/1136057 http://reliefweb.int/report/haiti/humanitarian-coordinator-haiti-alerts-crisis-raging-cite-soleil http://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/05/haiti-un-experts-say-government-must-act-end-gang-violence-against-women-and http://unocha.exposure.co/this-is-not-a-country-where-you-can-dream http://www.mercycorps.org/press-room/releases/violence-pushing-haiti-civil-war   Feb. 2023   Haiti: Rise in extreme gang violence makes for “living nightmare”. (OHCHR)   Extreme violence and gross human rights abuses, including mass incidents of murder, gang rape and sniper attacks, have sharply increased in Cité Soleil on the outskirts of the Haitian capital, said a UN report published today, creating “a living nightmare” for thousands.   "The findings of this report are horrifying: it paints a picture of how people are being harassed and terrorized by criminal gangs for months without the State being able to stop it. It can only be described as a living nightmare," Volker Türk, the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, said.   The report said that from 8 July to 31 December 2022 gang violence resulted in 263 murders in the Brooklyn neighbourhood of Cité Soleil, the impoverished and densely populated commune near the capital Port-au-Prince. It documented at least 57 gang rapes of women and girls, as well as kidnappings and sexual exploitation.   On one day alone, 8 July 2022, gang members murdered 95 people, including six children one of whom was two years of age.   The situation in Brooklyn mirrors the plight of hundreds of thousands of others in Haiti who reside in areas under the control of heavily armed gangs, the report by the Human Rights Service of the UN Integrated Office in Haiti said.   The G-9 gang has spread terror by using snipers, who indiscriminately kill anyone who enter their field of vision, the report said, adding that on average six people are killed each week by snipers.   The gang blocked access to the neighbourhood, thus controlling the entry of basic necessities such as food and health services. Unsanitary conditions have been exacerbated, leading to the spread of infectious diseases such as cholera.   The report detailed the case of Rose, a mother of four and five months pregnant, who was severely beaten and raped in the presence of her children by three heavily armed masked men who forced their way into her home in Cité Soleil. Earlier in the day, Rose's husband was shot by members of the same gang. Before leaving, the gunmen set fire to her house.   "The case of Cité Soleil is not an isolated one, and sadly many Haitians are experiencing similar ordeals,” said Türk. “It is time for the international community to help the Haitian authorities regain full control, so this suffering can be stopped.”   The UN Human Rights Chief called for a strengthening of the security forces, as well as the judicial system. All perpetrators, as well as those providing support and finance to the gangs, must be prosecuted and tried according to rule of law, and all victims recognized and their rights to truth, justice and reparations must be fulfilled, Türk added.   http://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/03/haiti-gang-violence http://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2023/02/haiti-rise-extreme-gang-violence-makes-living-nightmare-turk http://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2023/02/un-high-commissioner-human-rights-volker-turk-concludes-his-official-visit-haiti   Feb. 2023   Haiti: Armed violence against schools increases nine-fold in one year - UNICEF   Acts of armed violence against schools in Haiti, including shooting, ransacking, looting and kidnappings have increased nine-fold in one year, as rising insecurity and widespread unrest begin to cripple the country’s education system, UNICEF warned today.   In the first four months of the academic year (October – February), 72 schools were reportedly targeted compared to eight during the same period last year. This includes at least 13 schools targeted by armed groups, one school set on fire, one student killed, and at least two staff members kidnapped, according to reports by UNICEF partners. In the first six days of February alone, 30 schools were shuttered as a result of escalating violence in urban areas, while over 1 in 4 schools has remained closed since October last year.   "In Haiti, schools have always been considered and respected as safe havens, but in the past few months they have become targets for violence,” said UNICEF Representative in Haiti Bruno Maes. “In certain urban areas of the country, armed groups consider looting schools as a lucrative alternative to other forms of extortion and crime. This must stop. The targeting of schools by armed groups is having an enormous impact on children’s safety, well-being and ability to learn.”   According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), 60 per cent of Port-au-Prince is controlled by armed groups. When groups target schools, they frequently loot school equipment, including desks, benches, boards, laptops, photocopiers, batteries, and solar panels. Bags of rice, dough, and maize used for school meals – a lifeline for countless children in Haiti – have also been stolen, together with canteen equipment.   With social unrest rising these recent weeks, many school principals have taken the decision to close schools to protect children from potential attacks. As a result, in January 2023, children lost an average of one and a half school days per week. Without urgent action to protect schools from violence, UNICEF predicts that students will lose an estimated 36 days of school by the end of June.   In addition to armed violence, social unrest has also impacted children’s ability to learn in school. On 26 January, for example, children were forced to evacuate schools as violent street protests over the killing of 14 police personnel spread throughout the country.   "As children reel from the effects of armed violence, insecurity in Haiti shows no sign of abating,” said Maes. “Violence continues to take a heavy toll on children’s lives in and around Port-au-Prince, and schools are no longer spared. A child who is scared to go to school is a child more at risk of being recruited by armed groups. We must act urgently to protect children’s lives and futures."   Despite escalating violence and insecurity in the country, the Haitian Ministry of Education has stepped up its efforts to open schools, with 3 in 4 schools reopening by December 2022, compared to less than 1 in 10 in October.   UNICEF urges all actors to refrain from any action that jeopardizes children’s right to an education. UNICEF also calls on the Government of Haiti to ensure schools are safe and to hold accountable groups and individuals who harm or threaten children in school.   http://www.unicef.org/press-releases/haiti-armed-violence-against-schools-increases-nine-fold-one-year-unicef http://www.icrc.org/en/document/haiti-severe-levels-insecurity-must-not-be-obstacle-much-needed-humanitarian-aid   Nov. 2022   Immediate action needed to save children’s lives in Haiti amid triple threat of cholera, malnutrition and violence, UN child rights committee warns. (OHCHR)   The Committee on the Rights of the Child is deeply concerned about the severe violations of children’s rights in Haiti. Amid a surge in violence, the rights of children to life, education, safe water, sanitation, health, and nutrition are under threat.   Given the escalating insecurity, the majority of children have not gone to school since the academic year started on 3 October. More recently, and after three years without a reported case, cholera is back, threatening the health, well-being, and even lives of the 1.2 million children living in areas where cholera cases have been reported.   According to projections by UNICEF, nearly 100,000 children under five face severe acute malnutrition. The situation is alarming as malnourished children are even more at risk from the unfolding cholera outbreak.   Amid the rising violence, insecurity and economic hardship, many of the poorest Haitian families have no access to safe drinking water, soap to wash their hands and other basic sanitation, increasing the risk of catching cholera. In addition, hospitals are only able to offer limited functions as a result of both fuel shortages and insecurity.   Many Haitian children live in fear of being recruited, kidnapped, injured or killed by armed gangs. Children as young as 10, the vast majority of whom are girls, have been subjected to collective rape for hours in front of their parents amid the explosion of gang violence. One in four girls and one in five boys have been sexually abused in Haiti’s capital.   The international community needs to act immediately to support the national authorities in guaranteeing the rights of millions of Haitian children to live, grow, learn, and thrive in a climate free from violence.   The Committee urges Haiti to comply with its international human rights obligations under the Convention on the Rights of the Child and its Optional Protocols on the involvement of children in armed conflict and on the sale of children, child prostitution, and child pornography.   In particular, the Committee urges all government authorities and non-State actors to protect the rights of all Haitian children and facilitate access to humanitarian assistance for the most vulnerable families.   http://www.unicef.org/haiti/en/press-releases/1-2-children-depend-humanitarian-aid-survive-year http://www.ohchr.org/en/statements/2022/11/immediate-action-needed-save-childrens-lives-haiti-amid-triple-threat-cholera http://www.msf.org/haiti-msf-forced-suspend-activities-after-armed-men-kill-patient http://www.thenewhumanitarian.org/investigation/2022/11/14/Haiti-gang-violence-women-gender-based-violence-war-humanitarian-needs http://www.wfp.org/stories/gripped-spiraling-hunger-and-violence-haiti-needs-help-now-0 http://unocha.exposure.co/seven-things-to-know-about-the-humanitarian-crisis-in-haiti http://www.unicef.org/press-releases/amidst-insecurity-haiti-new-cholera-upsurge-puts-12-million-children-risk http://www.acaps.org/country/haiti/special-reports http://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/10/haiti-gangs-use-sexual-violence-instill-fear-un-report   http://www.msf.org/msf-activities-haiti-under-threat-after-series-security-incidents http://www.doctorswithoutborders.org/latest/haiti-people-port-au-prince-are-suffering-armed-clashes-spread http://www.savethechildren.net/news/haiti-more-22-million-children-need-violence-surges-across-country http://www.ohchr.org/en/press-releases/2022/05/haiti-bachelet-deeply-disturbed-human-rights-impact-deteriorating-security http://www.wfp.org/stories/haiti-i-spent-all-day-hiding-under-my-bed-they-spent-all-day-shooting http://unocha.exposure.co/road-blockade-shatters-resilience-in-southern-haiti http://www.unicef.org/press-releases/haiti-violence-and-pandemic-leave-one-three-children-need-humanitarian-assistance http://www.msf.org/unbearable-insecurity-haiti-amidst-violence-and-economic-crisis Visit the related web page
