The Biden administration will award nearly $110 million in security and police assistance to Haiti, U.S. State Department officials said on background.
"The security situation in Haiti remains untenable due to violence perpetrated by violent gangs, and the people of Haiti cannot wait," the official said.
The funds include $95 million for security mission support and $15 million to the Haitian National Police to counter gang violence, a move that bypasses a hold on the funds by Republican lawmakers.
Republicans had put "holds" on funds to Haiti because they needed "a lot more details" before approving them.
