Following escalating gang violence in Haiti, over 30 US citizens landed in Miami after a government-chartered flight evacuated them from the chaos. The State Department urged citizens to leave Haiti swiftly, with limited charter flights offered from Cap-Haïtien. With Haiti's main airport closed due to ongoing attacks, many face dire conditions, including looming famine. Avlot Quessa, a passenger from Boston, described the distressing situation in his homeland. Meanwhile, Marie Lucie St. Fleur of West Palm Beach expressed her longing for Haiti despite the turmoil. US officials in Miami are assisting evacuees in planning their next steps.
