(AP) — The State Department says that at least 66 Americans have made their way to the American Embassy in Haiti for medical attention or other assistance in the aftermath of the devastating earthquake.

State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley says that another group of about 160 Americans is at the airport outside the capital of Port-au-Prince, seeking a way to leave the Caribbean nation.

Crowley said Wednesday that U.S. C-130 military aircraft are expected to begin evacuating Americans in the coming hours and days.
