[HIGHLIGHTS] Haiti: Escalation of violence – Washington wants to fly US citizens out

Haiti: Escalation of violence – Washington wants to fly US citizens out. Riots and famine have plunged Haiti into chaos.

At the weekend the police fought armed gangs again. The US State Department announces a charter flight for stranded US citizens. The situation in Haiti is becoming increasingly dangerous following the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry. His resignation last week was forced by heavily armed gangs led by Jimmy Cherizier (also known as "Barbeque"), who are spreading violence across Haiti.
