Lormina Louima, a patient waiting for a check-up, said one man pulled out his gun and told her to relax.Alix Dorsainvil with her husband Sandro.
Earlier this month, Doctors Without Borders announced it was suspending services in one of its hospitals because some 20 armed men burst into an operating room and snatched a patient. As the protesters walked through the area where Dorsainvil was taken, the streets were eerily quiet. The doors to the clinic where she worked were shut, the small brick building empty. Ronald and others in the area worried the latest kidnapping may mean the clinic won’t reopen.
“If they leave, everything will shut down,” the Haitian worried. “The money they are asking for, we don’t have it.”State Department spokesman Matthew Miller refused to confirm Monday whether the abductors had made any demands, or to answer other questions.
