Haiti: the United States embassy evacuates part of its staff. The operation took place in the middle of the night at the request of the State Department.
US military helicopters evacuated non-essential staff from the US Embassy in Port-Au-Prince. This evacuation comes after Washington called, a few days ago, on its nationals to leave Haiti. The United States has recently said it is very concerned about the situation there, but it has ruled out sending any military force for the moment.
