The United States has directed its citizens still in Haiti to take advantage of the charter flights in the coming few days warning that evacuation efforts from the war-torn country will not be available after Friday, April 12.
Miami Herald reported that the State Department has informed all Americans especially those in Port-au-Prince to move with haste and take advantage of the window if they are planning on leaving the country.
As it stands, over 300 US citizens have already been evacuated.
Charter flights have been offering the citizens an opportunity to flee the country as the commencement of the Kenya-led mission delays.
American citizens had been cautioned about staying in the Caribbean nation as gangs continued to wreak havoc and take over key installations in an attempt to seize control.
Besides the charter flights, other major airlines have cancelled flights to Haiti limiting the number of foreigners who can leave the country.
Additionally, all international flights out of Port-au-Prince are still cancelled after gangs took over and barred former Prime Minister Henry Ariel from re-entering in early March.
Furthermore, the main seaport has also been closed for over a month due to ongoing fights between different gangs.
The gangs in Haiti have disrupted operations in major sectors and caused chaos which has led to the death of citizens. Haiti residents continue to appeal to the international community for intervention.
As Kenya gears to deploy 1,000 police officers, these gangs have issued a warning to the international community demanding they keep off Haiti's internal affairs.
Sending charter flights and helicopters is among the measures international partners have taken to protect their citizens who are still in the Caribbean nation.
France and Canada have also evacuated their citizens using the same strategy.
Kenya has already committed to deploying 1,000 police officers to Haiti and will lead other nations in the mission geared at bringing peace to the troubled country.
The exact date for deployment is yet to be communicated but the government has assured that the mission is still on.
Recently, the United Nations revealed that 1,000 officers may not be enough for the mission and called upon Kenya to increase the number.
