CWN Editor's Note: An armed gang led by a former police officer looted the Missionaries of Charity’s convent and dispensary in Port-au-Prince, Haiti, before burning the buildings to the ground.
The Vatican newspaper reported that none of the nuns was injured, as police had asked them to leave the area a month before.
St. Teresa of Calcutta (Mother Teresa) founded the convent in 1979. The dispensary treated 30,000 people per year.
