US evacuates first American citizens from Port-au-Prince as Haiti crisis deepens
Fox News
The U.S. on Wednesday evacuated more than a dozen American citizens from Haiti with a helicopter flight to the capital of the Dominican Republic.
Bradford Betz is a Fox News Digital breaking reporter covering crime, political issues, and much more.
The helicopter landed in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic, where U.S. government personnel were present to provide consular assistance.
This marked the first of a series of planned helicopter flights from Port-au-Prince to Santo Domingo, following U.S. efforts earlier this week to transport 30 Americans from the Haitian city of Cap-Haïtien – which is further north and relatively safer – to Miami International Airport.
