The U.S. State Department has confirmed that over 30 American citizens have been evacuated from Haiti on a government-chartered flight.

On Sunday, the State Department said that more than 30 U.S. citizens had landed safely in Miami, Florida, after being evacuated from Haiti amid rising gang violence and chaos.

They were flown on a government-chartered flight after the U.S. Embassy in Port-au-Prince urged U.S. citizens earlier this month to leave Haiti “as soon as possible.”

“On Sunday, March 17, the Department of State facilitated the safe departure from Cap-Haïtien, Haiti, of over 30 U.S. citizens on a U.S. government charter flight,” the State Department said in a statement. “These passengers are now safely in Miami, Florida, where U.S. government officials are assisting with next steps. We will continue to assist U.S. citizens as long as commercial options remain unavailable and the security environment permits us to do so.”

The main airport in Haiti remains closed as an influx of gang attacks have been on the rise, and the government and aid agencies also reported looting of aid supplies as the situation worsened.
