We begin tonight with Haiti and seen as David Culver, who has been trying it for days to get into the country and has just now arrived. The country is in chaos with Prime Minister stepping down, gangs now controlling the streets, and ordinary Haitians, millions of whom are going hungry, trying to survive. Cnn is the first major news network to make it into Port-a-Prince since this latest outbreak of violence. David Culver joins us now from there. What is the situation like on the ground?

Hey there, Anderson. We landed about three hours ago. It's tense, but there's also this eerie quiet that you feel as you're making your way through the streets. We were only driving for about 10 minutes or so. Compared to when we were here three weeks ago, I expected to see at least some livelihood out on the streets, some activity. There were no street vendors. Folks were hurrying along. One local Haitian told me it's because we were getting close to curfew, 6:00. You run the risk if you are out after curfew, not to be ticketed or sighted or anything, but rather potentially to have police open fire on you. That just tells you the type of situation that this city is dealing with, and really this country has found itself in. It is a crisis that they have not faced in years. It is unprecedented for many aspects of the city in particular. Then when you look at some of the most difficult aspects, you're talking about food insecurity and health care. If you break down the health care, it's 80% according to one local hospital executive of hospitals in the city that are shuttered. Many of them have been ransacked They've been looted.

Some of the medical workers themselves have been targeted by gang members, so they're living in fear. Then the food insecurity is a growing concern. You have officials who are saying that you've got about a million people who are a step away from famine. Why is that? Well, we experienced it just in the logistics of trying to get to where we are now. And that is, you've got roadways that are blocked by gang activity depending on the hour. You have to reroute and figure out another way around. It just shows you how quickly evolving this situation is, Anderson. And you've even got communities that have started to barricade themselves even more so than we saw three weeks ago and have created essentially self-defense brigades, according to locals, and are carrying guns more than I've seen on the streets here, certainly for on their last visit, just to make sure that the gangs don't get any closer and try to take over territory.

Who is in control in Port-a-Prince, in the capital?

Yeah, right now it does feel like there are almost factions within the city, if you will. It feels like there are aspects that have contained themselves and basically protected their own communities, if you will, not only physically and putting up a defense, but also just operating on their own, neighbors looking out for neighbors, if you will. And outside of that, there are some aspects that are able to continue just with some of the standard government and police protection. But then you can hear it on and off at times. You'll have moments gunfire will just erupt, and it shows you that these are times that are just totally unpredictable. And so for that reason, you've got people who are sealing themselves in their homes and who haven't left in the past couple of weeks.

How difficult was it to get into the country?

Yeah, this was a huge challenge. The logistics of six days waiting out in the Dominican Republic, trying to go through a lot of bureaucratic red tape at times, of course, but that just shows you what the Dominican Republic Haiti officials were trying to navigate so as to get the foreign media in. Now, we happen to be the first ones to get into Port-a-Prince, which is significant, especially after six days of trying over land crossings, then trying to book certain helicopters to make our way in. We finally were able to land about three hours ago. This is just a sampling of our trip. We're going to be flying to Haiti. It's going to take us one hour to get there.

The logistics of this trip alone have been incredibly challenging, to say the least. They're confirming with us something that we've been working on the entire day, and that is the landing zone, trying to figure out where we'll touch down amidst a very dire situation in Port-a-Prince.

Gunshots. Do you hear that? There it is. Already hearing gunshots. Just a few seconds into stepping out of the car after arriving here, Port-a-Prince. That shows you the logistics of trying to get here. Again, six days to make that one helicopter ride. As soon as it lands, A lot of the folks who are expats trying to get out are, of course, looking to board some of these helicopters and make their way back to the Dominican Republic. But those are the fortunate few, Anderson. Of course, you've got many Haitians here who they don't have that option to leave. As far as a foreign presence in international aid, the UN is trying to set up an airbridge, but right now it doesn't seem like that's in effect. You've got a city that's essentially cut off from anything that would allow it to stay alive at this point, including food. 90% of the food that comes into this country is imported. That tells you just how significant any supply chain that's cut off. If you think about the vast majority of what's consumed here has to come in from elsewhere and supply lines are just totally blocked, it's making it near an extremely dire situation.
