An American Nurse and her child have been kidnapped in Haiti, according to a Christian aid group. Alix Dorsainvil and her child were abducted near the capital, Port-au-Prince, on Thursday morning. The kidnapping occurred after the US government ordered nonessential personnel to leave Haiti due to the escalating insecurity in the country. The State Department issued a travel advisory, urging Americans to depart as soon as possible, as kidnapping is widespread. Gangs control most of the capital and engage in acts of violence such as kidnapping, rape, and murder. The US government is working with Haitian authorities to address the situation.
