The United Nations Organization made an appeal today for a "rapid and complete" deployment of security agents to the international mission to combat gangs in Haiti. The request comes amid growing violence caused by armed groups in the country.

The UN's request was made after a recent massacre that occurred in Haiti, causing dozens of dead and kidnapped. The humanitarian and security situation in the country has deteriorated significantly in recent months.

The mentioned international mission aims to combat the gangs that control a large part of Haitian territory. The violence of these groups has caused a large number of civilian casualties and worsening the crisis in the Caribbean country.

The Organization now awaits a response from member countries to finalize the sending of the requested security agents. The situation in Haiti remains critical, with the civilian population being the main victim of gang violence.
