The OAS is urged to assist with gang violence in Haiti as a U.N.-backed mission led by Kenyan police faces challenges due to lack of funds and personnel. US officials emphasize the OAS's important role in addressing Haiti's security crisis. Calls for a regional mission to tackle the critical situation are made at an OAS meeting. OAS Secretary-General recognizes the struggles of the current mission and mentions the need for new initiatives. Gang violence in Haiti persists, with recent attacks leading to fatalities.
