Haiti has turned down official humanitarian aid offered by the DR, according to Hoy, although no reason was given for this rejection. The Dominican government had offered medical assistance as well as medical equipment, including two ambulances. The humanitarian aid was offered after a three-story school in Petionville on the outskirts of Port au Prince collapsed, killing 90 and injuring an estimated 150 people. No survivors have been found in the ruins of the College La Promesse Evangelique since Saturday. Rescue efforts are continuing with authorities believing there could be more dead bodies in the rubble.
