a multinational security mission of up to 5,000 police officers to help haitian police restore the rule of law. earlier i talked with the bbc�*s nomia iqbal in cap—hatien. it is friday night in haiti. what's it like at the moment? is there any sense of normal life there at all?— life there at all? well, we understand _ life there at all? well, we understand that _ life there at all? well, we understand that it's - life there at all? well, we - understand that it's relatively calm and the violence has subsided somewhat in port—au—prince. i'm obviously here in cap—haitien, which is more than 80 miles away. this is seen as a much safer part of haiti. and it's easter weekend, good friday. people were out on the streets here celebrating easter, people dressed in white, holding rosary beads, carrying crosses. we spoke to some people and they said that obviously their faith is very important to them at this time. one woman did say to us that she felt really heartbroken by what was happening to her brothers and sisters in haiti. so while people are trying to get on with their normal life, of course, in the background we know that this violence is continuing. as you mentioned there, the un has said that the situation in haiti right now is cataclysmic. situation in haiti right now is cataclysmic— cataclysmic. you mentioned port-au-prince _ cataclysmic. you mentioned port-au-prince is _ cataclysmic. you mentioned port-au-prince is where - cataclysmic. you mentioned i port-au-prince is where things port—au—prince is where things are worst. people are continuing to flee from there. where are they going to? what awaits them when they get to where you are, in cap—haitien? yes, we've seen these buses that regularly come to cap—haitien. people have taken this long, dangerous six—hour journey to make it here in order to get refuge. and many of them tell us that they want to try to rebuild their lives here. we spoke to one man who was really angry about what's happening. he said to us that guns are coming from the us. and it's worth mentioning that haiti is a country that does not manufacture guns or ammunition. the us has said that a lot of these are being shipped in from the us. they want a resolution. we put this to the chief prosecutor of cap—haitien, and he said they have measures in place. they kind of rule with an iron fist here. he didn't go into all of the details, but he said that they have measures in place to stop gangs from spreading beyond the capital. so people do see cap—haitien as a safe place to come. having said that, the mayor of cap—haitien has said to us that the numbers in the end won't be sustainable. we don't know exactly how many people have come to cap—haitien, but we do know that more than 30,000 people have fled port—au—prince. in people have fled port-au-prince. , ., port-au-prince. in terms of what happens _ port-au-prince. in terms of what happens next, - port-au-prince. in terms of what happens next, the - what happens next, the transitional council has said it has almost formed but the gangs are warning that the violence will get worse before they get better. what is the view on the ground as to what lies ahead?— lies ahead?

currently the needs are increasing by the day. i - are increasing by the day. i can even say that they are increasing by the hour. in fact, the situation on the streets in port—au—prince continues very tense and very uncertain. there is a very distinct sense of fear on the streets, and as you know, since the end of february, the gangs have carried out orchestrated attacks against state assets, airports, police, commissariat, the prison, but also against schools and hospitals. so what we're seeing, fact, this violence is pushing tens of thousands of people to leave their homes. and these are people who are traumatised, extremely fatigued and also, of course, extremely tired and they are full of fear and terror. so the gangs utilise extreme violence. they continue to use sexual violence as a way of instilling fear and punishing the population. they have recruited children into their ranks, and we see, in fact, how the entire life here in the capital of haiti is being impacted. infact, daily life is disrupted by restrictions imposed by these armed gangs, roadblocks, but also the movement of people, goods and services. in fact, i would say a lot of the life here in the capital is now impacted by the gangs. as i mentioned, these human rights abuses are very rampant. we have, since the beginning of the year, and we are looking at a situation that is worse than many years back.— many years back. given that level of violence, _ many years back. given that level of violence, that - many years back. given that level of violence, that level| level of violence, that level of need, so many people are displaced. how you managing to distribute the aid that you have?

well, what we've seen in the past - have been needed there? well, what we've seen in the past has been emergency responses that have been massive, but we've also seen that they were also quite short—term. the problem of food insecurity in haiti, the problem of hunger in haiti, didn't site yesterday and won't end tomorrow, and a quick fix won't be enough. of course the situation is acute right now and we need to provide for the here and now, but we also need to be looking at the longer term. we need to be working to support the farmers, the businesses, the food producers in this country so that they are still there when things get out of, so that this country has a chance of feeding itself. it's quite important to not just focus on the emergency now but also to make sure that we ensure that we repair this broken food system in this country, and that means planning things over the longer term. it means funding the immediate needs and also putting resources towards longer term issues, longer—term projects in haiti, even at a very difficult time. we at the world food programme need $100 million over the next six months to continue our activities. haiti needs much more than that, to investigate in its agriculture support and infrastructure to feed the people in a way that is sustainable. , ., a, �* ., sustainable. jean-martin bauer, director of _ sustainable. jean-martin bauer, director of the _ sustainable. jean-martin bauer, director of the world _ sustainable. jean-martin bauer, director of the world food - director of the world food programme in haiti, thank you for bringing us up—to—date. meanwhile, the international community is anxiously awaiting the formation of haiti's transitional council. it was first announced by caricom, the caribbean's intergovernmental organisation, immediately after prime minister ariel henry announced he would resign. now the council is facing delays as gangs continue to launch attacks across port—au—prince. for a forecast on what the future holds for haiti i talked with jacqueline charles, miami herald reporter, and robert fattonjr, professor at the university of virginia. haiti has struggled for years, the 2010 earthquake, the cholera outbreak, and political turmoil and violence. does this feel different to all that has gone on before now, jacqueline, if you want an answer that first? ella mackay was going to let robert answer first. you know, i'm not so sure. i think that this moment is a lot more complicated. i mean, i heard the question you asked about the question you asked about the aid response. when you think about the fact that roads are blocked today not by debris but by armed groups, that going out of your door is literally taking your life into your own hands, everybody agrees that it has never been this bad, yet when you look at the response from the international community, just in terms of the aid, $674 million in humanitarian assistance and you can't even raise 10% of that. i can't even raise 10% of that. i can tell you that today there are at least 31 hospitals and clinics in port—au—prince that have been burnt, looted or closed because of these attacks. 0n closed because of these attacks. on top of these you have pharmacies that have been burned and looted to the ground. peoplejust cannot burned and looted to the ground. people just cannot get anywhere, so all of the investments that have been made, especially since the 2010 earthquake, is literally going up earthquake, is literally going up in smoke. earthquake, is literally going no in smoke-— earthquake, is literally going up in smoke. robert, what is our up in smoke. robert, what is your view?

well, that's a complicated _ saying there? well, that's a complicated business, - saying there? well, that's a i complicated business, because the seven members in the two observers— the seven members in the two observers of the council have been — observers of the council have been bickering, and it's not clear— been bickering, and it's not clear that _ been bickering, and it's not clear that they have settled very— clear that they have settled very basic issues like how do you — very basic issues like how do you elect— very basic issues like how do you elect the president, who is going _ you elect the president, who is going to — you elect the president, who is going to be the prime minister, let alone — going to be the prime minister, let alone form government. and then— let alone form government. and then you — let alone form government. and then you have to think about then you have to think about the installation of that government in haiti. how do you do that?

i jacqueline, how realistic a prospect is that?- jacqueline, how realistic a prospect is that? i mean, look, there is debate _ prospect is that? i mean, look, there is debate about _ prospect is that?

you are burning pharmacies, you are burning hospitals, you are attacking schools. what is it that you want? because this is happening in your community. you will get sick, you will need medication. your kids do need medication. your kids do need to go to school. so i hear what's being said, but it's still not making sense to a lot of us. �* , , still not making sense to a lot ofus.�* , _ of us. and briefly, jacqueline, do ou of us. and briefly, jacqueline, do you think _ of us. and briefly, jacqueline, do you think is _ of us. and briefly, jacqueline, do you think is the _ do you think is the international community paying enough attention to the situation?

we have had elected presidents who controlled the entire parliament, and we couldn't get precedence in. is this going to be enough to temper the situation? again, ithink be enough to temper the situation? again, i think the international community doesn't pay enough attention. they don't understand the nuance. they kind of think about, well, it works this way in this place so it should work this way in haiti. and i'm always reminded, tom shannon talks about the fact that it is the one country the us occupied and they don't play baseball, and i think that's a very telling thing that's a very telling thing that people should pay attention to.— that people should pay attention to. �* , , , attention to. and 'ust briefly, robert, attention to. and 'ust briefly, mm. a h attention to. and 'ust briefly, robert, a final_ attention to. and just briefly, robert, a final thought i attention to. and just briefly, robert, a final thought from | robert, a final thought from yourself there. do you think we will see some developments soon?
