Detroit: Author and Detroit Free Press columnist Mitch Albom and nine others have been rescued by helicopter from Haiti after becoming stranded in the poverty-stricken and violence-torn Caribbean nation while visiting an orphanage.
The group was forced to shelter inside the Have Faith Haiti Mission & Orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Albom said Tuesday in a statement on X, formerly known as Twitter.
"A group of us from Have Faith Haiti, including my wife and myself, were evacuated overnight from Haiti, where we had been sheltering in place since a state of emergency was declared,” he wrote.
Heavily armed gangs seized power in much of the nation's capitol following the 2021 assassination of President Jovenel Moise and now control about 80% of the city.
Murder, rape and robberies have become commonplace as gang members battle what's left of the nation's beleaguered police and military.
