Description
Right now, more Americans remain stranded in Haiti amid gang violence and political turmoil.
However, at least a number of them are out thanks to Project DYNAMO, the Tampa-based non-profit organization known for its work rescuing vulnerable Americans and allies around the world. Previous missions include Israel, Ukraine, Afghanistan, and even southwest Florida during Hurricane Ian.
Miriam Cinotti of Jacksonville was among those who were recently rescued.
"It was a little frustrating on our end getting out," Cinotti said during a press conference from the Dominican Republic alongside founder Bryan Stern.
Cinotti had to safely be moved by land, air, and sea from a remote spot in Haiti. She was there as a missionary.
"We were supposed to leave on March 8. Of course, that was right when everything happened. All of our flights were canceled," Cinotti said.
Stern said each mission is never easy and has its own set of unique challenges. In Haiti, Stern noted the austere environment in the middle of nowhere or the more popular areas, where gang violence is more prominent.
