2 weeks agoNine missing, including child and Irish missionary, after mass kidnapping at Haiti orphanage
An Irish missionary, Gena Heraty, and a three-year-old child are missing after a mass kidnapping from an orphanage in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The attack occurred at Sainte-Helene orphanage, where nine hostages were seized, including seven employees. The assailants broke into the facility around 3:30 am, executing a premeditated plan. Notably, no ransom demands have been issued following the kidnapping. This incident underscores the increasing violence that has plagued Haiti since the assassination of President Jovenel Moise in 2021.
