"U.S. Explores Evacuation Options for Americans Stranded in Haiti Amid Escalating Gang Violence"

The U.S. State Department is considering evacuation options for American citizens in Haiti as violent gangs have taken control of the capital, prompting over 15,000 people to flee their homes. While some have managed to leave, many others are still hoping to escape the dire situation. Private evacuation flights have been arranged, but the State Department has cautioned about the risks involved. Meanwhile, a missionary flight from Florida delivered humanitarian supplies to Haiti and brought back U.S. passport holders and Haitian nationals seeking safety.
