Kamala Harris' blunt Gaza words reflect intense government frustration over war. Haiti violence: State of emergency declared after mass jailbreak.

In the sharpest rebuke yet by a senior leader in the U.S. government, U.S. Vice President Kamala Harris bluntly called out Israel on Sunday for not doing enough to ease a ‘humanitarian catastrophe’ in Gaza, calling for an immediate ceasefire and urges Hamas to accept the Cairo-issued deal to release hostages in return for a 6-week cessation of hostilities.

Haiti declared a 72-hour state of emergency and night curfew after armed gangs stormed two major Port-au-Prince prisons over the weekend, leading to at least 12 people killed and the release of around 4,000 inmates. Gang leaders state their goal is to force resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who is outside the country. (BBC)
