After 18 years of being saved from hurricanes, thanks to its mountainous geography, the Dominican Republic could not avoid being touched by Fiona, a hurricane that managed to sneak in and devastate various areas of the country.
“The first thing is that several sites will be established where they will be able to bring objects such as water, preserves, among other objects that we need, we are waiting for a more precise list from the Dominican authorities,” added Espaillat.
“I am very much in agreement with the help given because they are in great need and they are my brothers, we have more possibilities than them, I agree with the help and that we get it as soon as possible,” said Peralta.
Everyone we spoke to told us that the Dominicans are known to offer their help and that in this case they are their brothers and sisters, they are more than ready to show their solidarity.
