"First Charter Flight Evacuating U.S. Citizens from Haiti Lands in Miami Amid Chaos and Looting"

A charter flight carrying over 30 U.S. citizens fleeing gang violence in Haiti landed in Miami, with the U.S. State Department offering limited charter flights for American citizens from the less chaotic northern city of Cap-Haïtien. Haiti's main airport in Port-au-Prince remains closed following recent gang attacks, and the situation has led to looting of aid supplies. Evacuees must sign a promissory bill agreeing to reimburse the government, and U.S. military forces have been deployed to bolster security at the U.S. Embassy in Haiti.
