U.S. Reissues Travel Advisory for This Caribbean Island-Adding Terrorism Warnings
Briefly

The U.S. Department of State continues its Level 4 travel advisory for Haiti, warning about significant risks including kidnapping, crime, terrorist activity, and civil unrest. The warning specifies intense violent crime in Port-au-Prince, highlighting rampant gang presence that contributes to kidnappings and sexual assaults. Risks also include stray bullets from armed conflicts. Despite the reopening of the Port-au-Prince airport, the FAA has banned flights to Haiti due to safety concerns regarding small arms fire risks, exacerbated by armed gang activity.
Violent crime is rampant in Haiti, especially in Port-au-Prince, where the expansion of gang, organized crime, and terrorist activity has led to widespread violence, kidnappings, and sexual assault.
There is a substantial risk of being struck by stray bullets, even for individuals not directly involved in the violence, as clashes between armed groups have escalated.
