The UN Security Council has authorized a significantly expanded international security force for Haiti, known as the Gang Suppression Force (GSF). This new force will comprise up to 5,550 police and soldiers, significantly larger than the previous Multinational Security Support mission. The GSF is empowered to detain gang members and aims to combat escalating gang violence, which has led to thousands of deaths and controls roughly 85% of the capital. The resolution also establishes a UN support office to aid Haiti in its fight against the ongoing crisis.
