The Dominican Republic government says it will temporarily allow the trade of essential Dominican products, including food and medications, on the border with Haiti
The Dominican Republic government said Monday it will temporarily allow trade of essential products, including food and medications, on its border with Haiti. But it said it will maintain a ban on the entry of Haitian citizens amid a dispute over the construction of a canal targeting a river that runs through both countries. The measure will come into force on Wednesday starting at 8:00 a.m.
The announcement comes weeks after the Dominican Republic announced the closure of all land, air and sea borders with Haiti in a dispute about construction of a canal on Haitian soil that would divert waters from the Massacre River in order to alleviate a drought that affects the Haitian Maribaroux plain. This generated a diplomatic crisis between both countries that share the Caribbean island of Hispaniola.
