Seven workers were also among victims taken outside of Port-au-Prince in ‘planned act’ in middle of night
An Irish missionary and a three-year-old child are among nine people missing in Haiti after a mass kidnapping from an orphanage in the country’s capital, Port-au-Prince.
The victims were seized from the Sainte-Hélène orphanage in the commune of Kenscoff, about 6.2 miles (10km) south-east of the capital on Sunday, officials said.
Among them was Gena Heraty, an Irish missionary who oversees the orphanage – operated by the humanitarian organization Nos Petits Frères et Sœurs (“Our Little Brothers and Sisters”).
A three-year-old child and seven employees were also taken, according to Kenscoff mayor Massillon Jean and a separate source close to the organization.
