Looting, roadblocks lead to travel warning
The US State Department is warning US citizens against traveling to Haiti due to the “Volatile security situation.”
The State Department has ordered all non-emergency personnel and family members of US Embassy personnel to leave the country.
“Travel in Haiti still involves serious risks,” said State, adding there’s no effective police force in the country.
State also cited a potential for looting and roadblocks set up by armed guards. Criminal activity has increased since 30 September.
Areas of Port-au-Prince are off-limits after dark and there’s a curfew.
“The area around the city of Gonaives remains a disaster area as a result of recent hurricanes with little public services of any kind available,” said the State Department.
