U.S. military resuming Haiti medical flights

MIAMI — The White House says the U.S. military will resume bringing Haitian earthquake victims to the United States on its planes for medical treatment, ending a suspension that lasted several days.

The military had brought hundreds of critically injured Haitians to the United States aboard its planes before halting the flights on Wednesday. Since then, at least a handful of patients were flown on civilian aircraft, and other flights continued to carry U.S. citizens and other mostly noninjured patients.

Late Sunday, White House spokesman Tommy Vietor said in a statement that the military flights were on track to resume by early Monday, and patients were being identified for the flights.
