CNN'S ATHENA JONES HAS THE STORY

--REPORTER PKG-AS FOLLOWS--
Athena Jones, CNN: “Well, we know US authorities are working closely with their Haitian counterparts and with US government interagency partners to try to resolve this crisis But there's also a lot of things we don't know It's unclear right now who is responsible for this kidnapping or whether they've made any demands, whether for ransom or anything else El Roi Haiti, which is the Humanitarian organization, the Christian humanitarian organization this nurse from New Hampshire was working for, put out a statement Here's what they said, in part, ‘Alex is a deeply compassionate and loving person who considers Haiti her home and the Haitian people, her friends and family Alex has worked tirelessly as our school and community nurse to bring relief to those who are suffering as she loves and serves the people of Haiti in the name of Jesus’ Now, Roy has also said their highest priority is the safe return of this mother and her child and they want to limit the amount of information they're sharing We also heard from a state Department spokesperson saying that they have no higher priority than the safety and security of US citizens overseas But this kidnapping comes at a time of growing concerns about the worsening violence in Haiti It was just two years ago this month that then President Jovenel Moise was assassinated by a gang and there's been a power vacuum ever since with some gangs taking control of various different swaths of the country The State Department has warned Americans not to travel to Haiti because of the frequency of kidnappings, crimes, civil unrest and also the poor health infrastructure And just last week, the State Department ordered all family members and non-emergency personnel of the Embassy to leave the country immediately because it's so unsafe This came after at least three days in a row of restrictions where Embassy staffers and families were supposed to stay there on the Embassy compound because things were so dangerous The UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said during a recent visit to Haiti that Haitians are trapped in a living nightmare with humanitarian conditions that are beyond appalling Guterres went on to say we are calling for a robust security force deployed by member states to work hand in hand with the Haitian National police to defeat and dismantle the gangs and restore security across the country But bottom line here, we're still awaiting more details of this scary and dangerous situation there in Haiti Athena Jones, at CNN New York”
