Haiti is grappling with the devastating aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, which has claimed 43 lives, left 21 injured, and 13 missing as of November 4, 2025. Rescue teams are tirelessly working to reach the hardest-hit areas in the southwest, where landslides and flooding have ravaged over 30 towns and villages. In a bid to bolster security, the European Union and the Organization of American States (OAS) have pledged to establish five forward operating bases in the Port-au-Prince metropolitan area and deploy mobile patrol units in the West Department. These measures aim to enhance the operational capabilities of the Haitian National Police (PNH) and the Gang Suppression Force (FRG). Concurrently, the PNH has successfully conducted operations along Haile Selassie Avenue, dismantling gang hideouts and restoring order without any casualties. The United States has also stepped in, allocating $8.5 million from a $24 million emergency aid package to assist Haiti in its recovery efforts. Amidst these challenges, former Acting President Jocelerme Privert emphasized the need for patriotic and competent leadership to steer Haiti towards stability. Additionally, the Ministry of Public Health has launched an HPV vaccination campaign targeting young adolescent girls to prevent cervical cancer.
