An estimated 30% to 50% of gang members are now children, according to UNICEF. Nearly two million people are on the verge of starvation in Haiti. More than one million children are estimated to be living in gang-controlled areas. Amnesty International says many of those interviewed “scoffed at the idea of reporting their attacks to authorities” a 16-year-old girl who was abducted and raped by several gang members said: “Are you kidding me? It’s not possible…There is no police…The only chief in town are the gang member.” The violence also led to injury and death.
