Amidst escalating gang violence and a worsening humanitarian crisis in Haiti, the U.S. government, along with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, has initiated efforts to evacuate American citizens trapped in the country. Over 160 U.S. citizens have been evacuated, including a specific rescue effort by DeSantis that safely returned 14 Floridians. The State Department, coordinating with the U.S. government, has facilitated multiple flights out of Haiti, landing in Miami, with one flight carrying 80 Americans on March 22. The violence in Haiti's capital has led to more than 33,000 people fleeing in just 13 days, with the situation showing no signs of abating. The international community is closely monitoring the crisis, as the U.N.’s International Organization for Migration reports on the mass displacement and the dire conditions faced by those still in the country.
