More than 200 Americans have now been rescued from Haiti and flown to Florida since emergency airlifts began about three weeks ago.
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis announced on April 2 that 220 Americans have been successfully evacuated from Haiti by the Florida Division of Emergency Management since the first flight on March 20.
