UN human rights expert William O'Neill says gangs control 80% of Port-au-Prince.

He says the country is facing a "race against time" with insecurity, hunger, and displacement.

The gangs have "trafficked children, forcibly recruited them into gangs, and often used them to carry out attacks," he says.

Nearly five million Haitians are also experiencing severe hunger.
