Geneva, (EFE).- At least 15 children have disappeared from Haiti’s hospitals since the Jan. 12 earthquake that devastated the Caribbean nation, the United Nations Children’s Fund said Friday.
“We have documented around 15 cases of children disappearing from hospitals and not with their own family at the time,” Unicef adviser Jean-Luc Legrand said in Geneva.
He said Unicef fears the youngsters may have been abducted by traffickers operating from the neighboring Dominican Republic.
