UN to resume aid flights to Haiti after planes hit by gunfire

 

The United Nations Humanitarian Air Service will restart flights to Haiti on Wednesday after around a week's hiatus and resolving regulatory issues, according to a statement from the U.N. World Food Programme, which manages the service, Paralel.Az reports citing Reuters.

"UNHAS provides passenger and light cargo transport in Haiti for the entire humanitarian community, including local and international NGOs," WFP said in a statement, adding that the suspension had not affected food supplies.

Haiti's government helicopter also resumed services on Monday, transporting three new government ministers following a cabinet shakeup last week that saw the prime minister ousted and many of his top ministers replaced.
