While the country is going through a serious security and political crisis, France announced that it had evacuated more than 170 French people and 70 foreigners this Wednesday. France had set up special flights on Sunday to allow its “most vulnerable” nationals to leave Haiti, whose capital is prey to gang violence. “The French embassy in Port-au-Prince remains open and continues its activity despite the degraded conditions,” the ministry also specified in a statement sent to AFP.
“It remains fully mobilized in support of the French community on site,” he adds. Some 1,100 French people, including a large number of dual nationals, live in Haiti, according to figures from the Quai d'Orsay.
