Dozens of US citizens were evacuated from Haiti on a State Department charter flight Sunday as the Caribbean nation grapples with escalating gang violence and political instability. The flight, which departed from Cap-Haitien, landed at Miami International Airport with more than 30 Americans on board. However, many others remain stranded, including missionary Jill Dolan and her family in Port-au-Prince. The crisis in Haiti has intensified in recent weeks, with gangs controlling 80% of Port-au-Prince and severely limiting essential supplies. The State Department is continuing to assist US citizens looking to leave Haiti, calling the situation one of the most dire humanitarian crises in the world. Nonprofit organizations like Project DYNAMO are conducting evacuations as well, with more than 100 rescue requests from Americans in Haiti. These groups are working tirelessly to rescue those in remote areas where other resources are scarce. With the situation rapidly evolving, more assistance and resources are needed to ensure the safety of those still trapped in Haiti.
