El Salvador deploys 1,000 troops to Haiti after gang ambush

El Salvador has sent roughly 1,000 troops to Haiti following the disappearance of four Salvadorean members of a UN-backed security mission in a gang ambush near Port-au-Prince on October 18. The deployment significantly expands El Salvador's role in Haiti's gang conflict, but command structure, duration, and rules of engagement remain unclear. This marks a notable escalation in international intervention amid Haiti's ongoing security crisis.
