CMC – An American nurse and her daughter, who were kidnapped in Haiti on July 27 remain missing, even as the State Department issue orders for US Officials and their families to leave the country amid worsening clashes between gangs and police.
The Christian humanitarian organisation El Roi Haiti, confirmed in a press release that the 31-year-old American nurse Alex Dorsainvil and her daughter, who were living in Haiti, were kidnapped from the site of the non-governmental organisation.
“We can confirm that Alix Dorsainvil, the wife of our Director Sandro Dorsainvil, and their child, were kidnapped on Thursday, July 27 in the morning at the NGO site near Port-au-Prince,” the statement said.
President of El Roi Haiti, Jason Brown said Dorsainvil, was their “school and community nurse [and] is known for her unwavering devotion to the suffering people, working tirelessly to relieve sick people in the name of Jesus.”
He said she “is a deeply loving and compassionate person who considers Haiti as her home and the Haitian people her family and friends.”
On the day of Dorsainvil’s kidnapping, the State Department issued a Level 4 (Do Not Travel) Advisory on Haiti “due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure.
“US citizens in Haiti should depart Haiti as soon as possible by commercial or other privately available transportation options, in light of the current security situation and infrastructure challenges.
US citizens wishing to depart Port-au-Prince should monitor local news and only do so when considered safe.”
The department said it was issuing the advisory for US citizens to leave Haiti as it could not guarantee that protection could be provided for them should they remain.
The Associated Press (AP) reported that a statement from the US State Department said it was “aware of the kidnapping of two American nationals in Haiti” and “are in regular contact with the Haitian authorities and we continue to collaborate with them.”
