By Zoila Palma Gonzalez: On Wednesday, Canada delivered armored vehicles to Haiti as the Caribbean nation is grappling with gang violence, Reuters report.

Haiti is facing a severe humanitarian crisis, Canada’s Foreign Ministry noted.

Since the assassination of Haitian President, Jovenel Moise in 2021, gangs have taken control of several parts of the nation.

Hundreds have died amidst the battle and last September, gangs blocked a fuel terminal for almost 2 months.

The U.S. and Canada continue to provide assistance to Haiti as the nation calls on the international community for help.
