Haiti's displacement crisis hits a record 1.5 million as gang and counter-gang violence spreads
So what? The geographic spread beyond the capital is the bigger warning than the raw numbers: it means the displacement pipeline feeding onward migration is widening, not just deepening in place. A privately contracted, drone-enabled counter-gang campaign killing at this rate also raises the odds of a mass-casualty incident that triggers a sudden spike in maritime departures toward the U.S. and its Caribbean partners with little warning.
