US citizens continue to be evacuated from Haiti due to the country’s worsening gang violence and political instability. Both the State Department and non-profit organizations are working to rescue Americans stranded in the crisis. Gangs controlling 80% of Port-au-Prince have led to shortages of essential supplies. The situation is described as one of the most severe humanitarian crises globally. The State Department is assisting citizens to leave Haiti, emphasizing the dangerous security conditions. Amid the chaos, efforts are being made to establish a transitional council and ensure free and fair elections. The need for assistance and resources to rescue more individuals in Haiti is urgent as the crisis unfolds.
