Haiti violence: US charter flight lands in Miami as clashes continue

A chartered flight organised by The US State Department for its citizens stranded in Haiti, has landed in Miami. This comes as gang violence and hunger grip the impoverished country.

Police in the capital Port-au-Prince are trying to recapture areas held by notorious gang leader Jimmy Chérizier.

The situation for ordinary Haitians remains precarious and dangerous, while many embassies and consulates are airlifting their citizens out.

On Saturday stranded Americans were told by the state department a charter flight would depart from Cap-Haitien, a port city about 120 miles (193km) from Port-au-Prince.

But the state department said only US citizens with valid US passports would be allowed to travel and the flight would only go ahead if the situation at Cap-Haitien remained stable.
