(Reuters) - The U.S. Embassy in Haiti on Wednesday urged citizens in the Caribbean country to leave "as soon as possible" citing security and infrastructure challenges, as escalating violence has left thousands displaced and sent homicides soaring.
"U.S. citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti as soon as possible via commercial or private transport," the embassy said in a statement, urging extreme caution.

(路透社)- 美国驻海地大使馆周三敦促身处加勒比国家的公民尽快离开,原因是该国面临着安全和基础设施挑战。随着暴力事件不断升级,导致成千上万人流离失所并致使凶杀案激增。
大使馆在一份声明中表示:“身处海地的美国公民应尽快通过商业或私人交通工具离开海地”,并敦促他们要极度谨慎。

An escalating gang turf war in Haiti has caused a devastating humanitarian crisis that has displaced around 200,000 nationwide and left some 5.2 million people - nearly half of Haiti's population – in need of humanitarian aid, according to the United Nations.
Earlier this month, the U.S. Embassy in the capital Port-au-Prince temporarily closed, due to gunfire in the vicinity.
