A woman from New Hampshire who works for a nonprofit organization in Haiti and her young daughter have been freed nearly two weeks after they were kidnapped.
The organization told The Associated Press in a brief response that it would comment on the situation in upcoming days and asked for patience "as the community processes and heals."
"We have no greater priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas," the agency said. "As you can imagine, these individuals have been through a very difficult ordeal, both physically and mentally."Witnesses told The Associated Press that armed men had seized the New Hampshire native and her young daughter in late July from a clinic in a gang-controlled area of Port-au-Prince where Dorsainvil works.
On July 27, the U.S. State Department had ordered the departure of non-emergency U.S. government personnel from Haiti, which remains under a "do not travel" advisory.
