PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (April 27, 2004)-- -- Three-year-old Miranda Pascol is handed from a boat up to a Haitian coast guardsman on the pier at Killick coast guard base here to be repatriated with her family April 27. She was one of 380 Haitians that fled the island the weekend before on a homemade 60-foot sail freighter, but were rescued by the U.S. Coast Guard Cutter Forward from their very boat with few or no lifejackets onboard.
The U.S. Coast Guard rescued and repatriated 1,591 Haitian migrants from Feb. 21 to April 27. They are here supporting Multinational Interim Force-Haiti to assist in stabilizing and securing the country.
