Haitian Prime Minister Ariel Henry has pleaded for foreign military support.
The U.N. envoy to Haiti, Helen La Lime, has called for more urgency, saying the police cannot win without outside support.
"Jamaica would be willing to participate in a multinational security assistance deployment to Haiti under the appropriate jurisdictional parameters to support a return to a reasonable level of stability and peace," Holness told lawmakers.
