PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (AP) — The U.S. military says it has resumed the airlifts that brought hundreds of Haitian earthquake victims to hospitals in the United States, ending a four-day suspension.

U.S. Army Col. Gregory Kane says that a medical evacuation flight left Haiti for the United States Sunday night, though he gave no details.

The White House said earlier that a suspension imposed on Wednesday was being lifted because it has been assured that there is space for the patients at U.S. and foreign hospitals.
