Rep. Cory Mills, R-Fla., says his team has helped 13 more Americans evacuate Haiti.
State Department spokesperson Vedant Patel said Monday that nearly 1,000 Americans have filled out a "crisis intake form" seeking assistance in Haiti.
"It is not hyperbole to say that this is one of the most dire humanitarian situations in the world," Patel added. "Gang violence continues to make the security situation in Haiti untenable, and it is a region that demands our attention."

"There’s a clear pattern of abandonment," Mills added, citing his rescue missions in Afghanistan following the U.S. military drawdown in 2021 and the rescue of Americans from Israel in late 2023. "Yet again, this group was left behind by Biden and his State Department after requesting their help in-country."
