The Dominican government has stated that the United Nations has not officially requested to establish a “humanitarian air bridge” to help Haiti, despite reports suggesting otherwise. The idea of a UN humanitarian bridge for Haiti potentially starting operations as early as next week has been circulating, with the use of La Isabela and Barahona airports in the Dominican Republic as the designated airlift hubs.
Former Dominican President Leonel Fernandez has shared his thoughts on the proposed airlift between Haiti and the Dominican Republic, emphasizing the importance of supporting Haiti during this critical time. While the UN has not made a formal request yet, Dominican authorities are prepared to assist in any way possible to aid in humanitarian efforts for Haiti.
Stay tuned for further updates on this developing situation as the possibility of a humanitarian air bridge to support Haiti continues to be explored.
