Haiti gang violence escalates as U.S. evacuation flights end with final plane set to land in Miami

The last opportunity for U.S. nationals to flee violence-wracked Haiti on a government-chartered evacuation flight arrived Friday, with no sign of the chaos easing in the tiny Caribbean nation. The U.S. State Department said last week in an email to Americans in Haiti that charter flights were not scheduled to continue after April 12. 

CBS Miami's Tania Francois said the last scheduled evacuation flight from Haiti was scheduled to arrive Friday afternoon in South Florida.

Gunfire echoed through the streets of Haiti's embattled capital city this week, forcing charities to suspend care for citizens, according to The Associated Press.
