France plans to conduct special evacuation flights for its citizens stranded in Haiti due to political unrest affecting air travel to Port-au-Prince.
The French embassy in Port-au-Prince is operational and committed to assisting its community amid challenging circumstances.
With approximately 1,100 French citizens, including dual nationals, in Haiti, the evacuation flights aim to ensure their safe departure amidst ongoing turmoil.
Organized by France’s defense ministry, the evacuation process will start soon, and those wishing to leave Haiti should contact the French embassy for assistance.
The exact number of evacuees is uncertain as the situation in Port-au-Prince remains volatile, marked by street battles and the recent resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
Despite his resignation, violence continues, exacerbating the already dire situation for Haitians facing food shortages and awaiting the formation of a new transitional government.
