Escalation of Gang Violence Displaces Nearly 600,000 Haitians in 2025

Gang violence in Haiti, particularly in the capital Port-au-Prince, has led to the displacement of nearly 600,000 individuals in 2025, raising the total number of internally displaced persons to 1.4 million. This alarming increase, reported by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR), highlights a 38% rise in internal displacement due to escalating violence and civil disorder. The situation has prompted the establishment of a Gang Suppression Force in October 2025 to restore security. While Haiti is not the country with the highest number of displacements globally, it is among the top ten at risk of humanitarian crises, with the potential for further deterioration in 2026. The ongoing violence, including drone attacks that have killed over 1,200 people, exacerbates the humanitarian crisis and poses significant risks to civilians.

El Paso Implements Hotel Tax on Short-Term Rentals; St. Pius X School Closes

The El Paso City Council has approved a new hotel occupancy tax for short-term rentals, set to begin within 90 to 180 days. This 17% tax, similar to that charged to hotel guests, is expected to generate an additional $3.5 million annually, funding tourism-related projects like improvements to the Judson F. William Convention Center and local arts programs. In another significant development, St. Pius X Catholic School has permanently closed due to declining enrollment and a projected annual deficit exceeding $300,000. The school, which opened in 1955, will assist families in finding new educational opportunities.
