Foreigners stranded
NZPA-Reuter Port-au-Prince Hundreds of foreign tourists were stranded yesterday as the new Government kept Haiti virtually cut off from the outside world and airlines were blocked from landing at the only international airport.
Calm returned to Haiti after several days and nights of shooting and looting but the country remained cut off and there were widespread fears of renewed violence. The international airport outside the capital remained closed for the third day. Embassies were receiving anxious calls
from foreigners.
Some Americans complained that the United States Government was doing nothing to get them out and they feared they could be caught in more violence. The United States Embassy said Washington’s present policy was that Americans were not in danger.
