#France says to offer evacuation flights for vulnerable citizens in #Haiti.

Violent street battles started erupting in Haiti at the end of February. The French Foreign Ministry said it would provide special flights to evacuate some of the 1,100 French citizens.

“France’s embassy in Port-au-Prince remains open and is still working despite the degraded conditions,” the ministry told Agence France-Presse (AFP) in a statement. It added that staff are “completely mobilized to support the French community on the ground.” Around 1,100 French citizens live in Haiti, the ministry added, many of them holding dual nationality.
