PORT-AU-PRINCE (Reuters) - The U.S. government said on Sunday it would resume military evacuation flights to the United States for badly injured Haitian earthquakevictims after a four-day suspension over cost and treatment questions.
The White House said the flights were expected to begin again within 12 hours. Medical workers in Haiti had said the suspension put seriously injured patients at risk.
"Having received assurances that additional capacity exists both here and among our international partners, we determined that we can resume these critical flights," White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement.
