The situation in Haiti remains dire, as evidenced by the recent kidnapping of an American nurse, Alix Dorsainvil, and her child. Alix was working for the Christian aid charity El Roi Haiti in a community ministry near Port-au-Prince on July 27 when she was taken. The US State Department is in contact with Haitian authorities regarding the incident.
