On Wednesday, another group of Americans was evacuated from Haiti on a US-chartered helicopter flight as the nation grapples with rampant gang violence and political instability. The State Department anticipates multiple trips to ensure the safe return of US citizens.
The recent flight transported over 15 US citizens from Port-au-Prince, with plans to accommodate more than 30 Americans on each chartered flight. The security situation, availability of commercial transportation, and citizen demand will determine the duration of evacuation assistance.
