Wednesday, June 24, the French Government has updated its section "Last minute" concerning French nationals wishing to travel to Haiti.

Last Minute :

"Demonstrations - Road Blockages :

The current pre-election period is an opportunity to protests in many parts of the country, with risks of violent incidents, as well as frequent roadblocks that impede the movement inter and intraurban.

It is recommended to keep away from crowd movements and remains nformed of developments (local media, embassy, etc...)

Armed aggression at the exit of the Port-au-Prince airport :

Faced with the upsurge of armed attacks, sometimes fatal, between the airport and their accommodation, targeting mainly travelers coming to visit their family, it is recalled that it is imperative to organize its reception by relatives or people of trust, to minimize the transport of cash or valuables and especially not offering any resistance in case of aggression.

These attacks can target the taken vehicle at the exit of the airport, the day of arrival and the next day, following the tracking operated by gangs."
