Haiti: missionary  evacuation plan

Ron DeSantis

Missionaries trapped amid escalating violence in Haiti are to be evacuated under a plan by Florida Governor Ron De Santis.

Speaking on television, DeSantis said: ‘I have authorised rescue flights like we did in Israel after the 7 October (Hamas attacks) because we’ve got a lot of folks who are part of Christian missionary groups and they do things to try to actually help a very troubled country.’

He added: ‘We don’t want to say anything too publicly about what exactly we are doing ... because it’s a very dicey situation. But we do feel an obligation to go in and help.’
