17 Missionaries and Children Kidnapped in Haiti

HeadlineOct 18, 2021

In Haiti, the U.S.-based group Christian Aid Ministries says 17 of its members and their family members, including five children, were abducted by a criminal gang Saturday as they were leaving an orphanage in Port-au-Prince. One of the members was Canadian, the rest U.S. citizens. They were based in Titanyen, just north of Port-au-Prince. Human rights groups warn kidnappings in Haiti have tripled since the assassination of President Jovenel Moïse in July and a devastating earthquake in August.
