US citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti as soon as possible via commercial or private transport, the embassy said in a statement, urging extreme caution.
Earlier this month, the US Embassy in the capital Port-au-Prince temporarily closed, due to gunfire in the vicinity.
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.
