El Salvador sends 2,000 troops to Haiti in search of 4 missing Salvadorans

El Salvador plans to send 2,000 troops to Haiti to search for four missing Salvadorans, who were part of an international security mission against gang violence. The four disappeared on October 19 after their armored vehicle was attacked by heavily armed criminals. The situation in Haiti is dire, with gangs controlling large areas and a humanitarian crisis affecting over 1.5 million people. The international peacekeeping mission, Gang Suppression Force, has seen limited success, with only 1,563 troops deployed instead of the needed 5,500. Elections in Haiti have been postponed due to ongoing violence.
