We are monitoring localized outbreaks of gang-led violence in Port-au-Prince and surrounding areas. Gang-led violence, including occasionally intense gunfire, can occur in any area of Haiti and can involve risks of being struck by stray bullets. In the coming days, we advise particular caution when traveling through the areas of Pierre 6 and Carrefour Drouillard around Toussaint Louverture International Airport and around Port-au-Prince's seaports.

The Embassy reminds all citizens that Haiti, including Port-au-Prince, remains under a Level 4 – Do Not Travel – Travel Advisory. The security situation in Haiti is unpredictable and dangerous. Travel within Haiti is conducted at your own risk. The U.S. government cannot guarantee your safety traveling to airports, borders, or during any onward travel. You should consider your personal security situation before traveling anywhere in Haiti.
