Amid surging gang violence, Haiti received thousands of forced returnees. An emergency meeting of the UN Security Council was called to discuss the situation in Haiti following a deadly gang attack.

UN chief Guterres said the attack underscores 'the alarming security situation in Haiti' due to gangs.

It is the second U.S. deportation flight to Haiti since Temporary Protected Status was ended for some 350,000 Haitians living in the United States.
