The United Nations' sanction regime in Haiti in response to the gang violence and humanitarian crisis should be working by early next year, a top UN aid official said on Thursday.
Speaking at a news briefing, Ulrika Richardson said the U.N. Security Council is still discussing possible international intervention in Haiti, 2 months after U.N. chief Antonio Guterres proposed several countries send in a "rapid action strike force."
"I think there is a sense of urgency, a lot of the actors share that sense of urgency. But it's tricky," said Richardson when quizzed about how long such a response could take.
Richardson said people are being confronted with violence on a daily basis in Port-au-Prince, saying "it can't continue."
