US Embassy Evacuates Non-Essential Staff Amid Haiti's Ongoing Gang Violence

On February 29, Haitian gangs initiated an offensive to overthrow the government. As a result, Prime Minister Ariel Henry is currently in Puerto Rico due to safety concerns. The United States has evacuated non-essential staff from its embassy in Port-au-Prince as violence escalates in the country. Residents of troubled neighborhoods are seeking refuge amidst the chaos caused by criminal groups in recent days. The US military conducted an operation on Sunday to airlift non-essential personnel from Haiti, adding to the growing signs of instability and potential government collapse due to increasing gang violence.
