France will provide special flights for its "most vulnerable" citizens to leave Haiti, the French foreign ministry said Sunday, after air links with Port-au-Prince were cut during political chaos.
Paris will provide charter flights out of Haiti to French nationals who are registered with its local embassy, with the Caribbean country gripped by gang violence.
France has evacuated more than 170 nationals and around 70 people of other nationalities from violence-wracked Haiti on French army helicopters, the foreign ministry said Wednesday.
More than 1,000 French nationals reside in Haiti, many of whom hold dual citizenship. Haiti faces a security and humanitarian crisis as armed groups carry out widespread acts of violence.
