France Evacuates 240 People from Haiti Amid Security Concerns

The evacuation effort, involving over 170 French nationals, responds to escalating violence and political instability.

France has evacuated 240 people, including more than 170 French nationals and around 70 people of other nationalities, from Haiti due to worsening security.
Evacuees were transported by French army helicopters to a navy boat, which will take them to Fort-de-France in Martinique.
The evacuation comes amid escalating gang violence and political turmoil in Haiti, including the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.
Approximately 1,100 French citizens reside in Haiti, many holding dual nationality.
The UN reports that 5.5 million people in Haiti require humanitarian aid, with 3 million of them being children.
