American woman Alix Dorsainvil child freed after being Haiti kidnap ordeal in Haiti

The American nurse and her child who were kidnapped from a clinic in Haiti last month have been released, the Christian non-profit affiliated with the woman’s husband said Wednesday.

“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,” El Roi Haiti wrote.

“Today we are praising God for answered prayer!”

The update did not provide any information on Dorsainvil or her child’s condition.

The kidnappers also remain unidentified.

Dorsainvil and her young daughter were taken by armed gunmen from the El Roi clinic outside Port-au-Prince on July 27.

Negotiations to free the pair began shortly after the abduction, a Haitian law enforcement source told ABC News.

Dorsainvil, who is originally from New Hampshire, is married to the director of El Roi, the organization said.

She has been working in the community as a nurse for “some time now,” the group added.

On the day of Dorsainvil’s kidnapping, the US government issued a travel advisory warning prospective visitors to avoid Haiti due to kidnapping, crime, civil unrest, and poor health care infrastructure.

”Clinic patient Lormina Louima previously told reporters of the terrifying kidnapping, which she said occurred armed when a number of armed men stormed the small building.

“When I saw the gun, I was so scared,” she recalled.

Some community members claimed that the kidnappers asked for a $1 million ransom, though these reports remain unconfirmed.
