"US Conducts Emergency Evacuation of Embassy Staff in Haiti Amid Escalating Gang Violence"

The US has begun airlifting embassy staff out of Haiti as heavily armed gangs attempt to seize the political quarter of Port-au-Prince, with the prime minister stranded in Puerto Rico and warnings of potential government collapse. Gangs have intensified their offensive, targeting strategic locations and prompting foreign governments to urge their citizens to leave Haiti. Former US special envoy to Haiti, Daniel Foote, believes a large international intervention is necessary to restore order, while El Salvador's leader, Nayib Bukele, has offered to help with a UN-backed resolution. Caribbean leaders will meet to discuss the crisis, as the security situation in Haiti continues to deteriorate.
