Gang rule in Haiti has led to a staggering rise in sexual violence against children, the United Nation's children's organisation has warned. The Caribbean island has been in the grip of violent gangs for several years who have been treating the population with unrelenting brutality, Unicef said.

As ongoing gang violence and unrest bring down the living conditions in Haiti, humanitarian groups sound the alarm on human rights violations and the increasing challenges they dace in providing relief efforts.

Amnesty International revealed how children and young people are pressured into joining gangs, as well as suffering sexual assault.
