More U.S. missionaries and other Americans who got stranded in Haiti after criminal gangs overran the country in late February have been rescued after weeks of waiting as a new report from the United Nations described the troubled Caribbean nation’s condition as “cataclysmic.”

“Structural and conjectural factors have led Haiti to a cataclysmic situation, characterized by deep political instability and extremely fragile institutions,” the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights said in a report released Monday.

“Corruption, impunity, and poor governance, compounded by increasing levels of gang violence, have eroded the rule of law, and brought State institutions, which should be the basis of a democratic society, close to collapse. The impact of generalized insecurity on the population is dire and keeps on deteriorating.”

The report comes as some U.S. missionaries who had been pleading for help and prayers after they got trapped in the government collapse reported that they were finally rescued.

In a post of Facebook Sunday night, Jill Dolan of Love A Neighbor ministry who has been working as a missionary in Haiti since October 2013 with her husband, Ryan, reported that she was among those waiting to be rescued.
