CNN —US nurse Alix Dorsainvil and her daughter have been released after they were kidnapped in Haiti, her employer said. “It is with a heart of gratitude and immense joy that we at El Roi Haiti confirm the safe release of our staff member and friend, Alix Dorsainvil and her child who were held hostage in Port au Prince, Haiti. The organization asked that no one contact Dorsainvil or her family, “there is still much to process and to heal from in this situation,” the statement said. Dorsainvil and her daughter were kidnapped from the community ministry, El Roi Haiti, where she works in Port-Au-Prince. The couple wed in Haiti in January 2021, a 2021 newsletter published by Sandro Dorsainvil’s alma mater, Lustre Christian High School in Montana, said.

☆ Haiti hospital cares for kids amid gang violence, hunger and scarce aid

After being turned away from Haiti's only general hospital, her daughter Myleisha was finally accepted at Fontaine Hospital, a UNICEF-sponsored facility in the capital Port au Prince - in an area the rest of her family considers too unsafe to visit. The Fontaine Hospital is located in the Cite Soleil neighborhood, where the G9 and G-Pep gangs have been fighting a vicious turf war. "We are in one of the poorest areas of the country, and also one of the most dangerous," said hospital founder Jose Ulysse. The UN World Food Programme (WFP) says nearly half of Haiti's population - some 4.9 million people - are going hungry. Without more UNICEF funding, hospital director Kareen Ulysse said she doubts the Fontaine can keep running for another year.
