The State Department says nearly 1,000 Americans have filled out a form asking for help in Haiti as gangs make the security situation there 'untenable.'
The State Department revealed Monday that nearly 1,000 Americans have filled out a 'crisis intake form' seeking assistance in Haiti – a country it is now calling 'one of the most dire humanitarian situations in the world.' State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel made the remark hours after dozens of Americans landed in Miami on a U.S.
And we're continuing to monitor the situation closely and evaluate the demand of U.S. citizens, evaluate the overall security situation, evaluate what is feasible when it comes to commercial transportation options, what is feasible for other transportation solutions,' Patel also said, emphasizing that 'we have no higher priority than the safety and security of American citizens.' The State Department previously has said it is aware of several hundred U.S.
The most recent attacks have raised concerns that gang violence will not cease despite Prime Minister Ariel Henry announcing nearly a week ago that he would resign once a transitional presidential council is created, a move that gangs had been demanding. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
