  • The military police contingent includes two groups of 75 soldiers that arrived on consecutive days.
  • A state of emergency has been ongoing due to the stronghold that gangs have on Port-au-Prince.
  • Guatemalan forces will support a UN-backed mission led by Kenya, which has seen limited success in curbing violence.
