The U.S. military has evacuated non-essential personnel from the U.S. Embassy in Haiti, deploying additional forces to enhance security. This move comes in response to the recent surge in gang attacks, which have left large parts of the capital, Port-au-Prince, under gang control.
In an airlift operation, military aircraft flew non-essential American employees out of the country, emphasizing that no Haitians were on board. The decision to evacuate was prompted by the deteriorating security situation in the embassy's vicinity and the broader escalation of gang violence in Haiti.
