Members of the General Security Unit of the National Palace set up a security perimeter after armed gang members tried to seize the National Palace the day before, in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, on Saturday. Canada's ambassador to the United Nations says the world must act as the situation in Haiti continues to deteriorate, ahead of major meetings of Caribbean nations and partners in Jamaica.

Haiti is gripped by chaos and disorder, as criminal gangs increasingly assert control over the country. Haiti's acting leader, Ariel Henry, is outside the country and attempting to negotiate a way home, even as the United States calls for him to resign and plan elections for a new government. A UN-backed deal for a multinational force led by Kenya has languished for months, blocked by internal legal issues. Haiti had requested an international force, as well as economic aid.

"If the international community makes their decisions again this time, the results will be equally catastrophic thanRae said on Sunday that the disorder in the country is making it impossible to bring in much-needed goods and aid.
