Many Dominican transporters have decided not to enter Haiti to transport goods and food products, due to the increase in kidnappings of Dominican citizens and the insecurity that prevails in Haiti, reports the Dominican newspaper Listin Diario.

There are transporters who travel from Santo Domingo, Santiago and other parts of the country, who unload the goods on the Dominican side of the border and, from there, Haitian drivers are in charge of distributing them to their recipients in Haiti.

These carriers used to ship directly to Haiti, but now they decide to take them only in the border area and that, from this part, Haitian carriers are responsible for transporting them to the national territory.

For his part, the president of the National Center of Transport Workers (CNTT), Juan Marte, described as wise the decision of many Dominican transporters to refrain from entering Haiti with vehicles containing food and other goods. For the president it is the right thing to do, because it is not fair that Dominican transporters risk their safety, for the simple fact of earning more money.
