Asian and African contingents expected in Haiti as part of the deployment of the GRF

Several contingents from Asian and African countries are expected in Haiti to supplement the forces of the Gang Suppression Force (GRF) already deployed on the ground, said Daniela Kroslak, head of the United Nations Support Office in Haiti (UNSOH).<\/p>

Speaking on the airwaves of Magik9 on Thursday, October 1, 2026, Ms. Kroslak specified that the UNSOH is responsible for the logistical, administrative, and operational support of the GRF. She emphasized that the office does not intervene in decision-making or in the implementation of operations. Once in Haiti, the UNSOH will ensure the deployment of the new contingents to the fronts of Port-au-Prince and in Artibonite, where other elements of the GRF are already mobilized, she said.<\/p>
