Haitian Ambassador to the DR Fritz Cineas denies reports that the Haitian authorities had rejected an offer of humanitarian aid from the DR following the catastrophic school collapse in Petionville, near Port-au-Prince last week. One hundred and two people, mainly children, are believed to have died in the disaster, and many more are injured and missing. Cineas, quoted in Hoy, thanked President Leonel Fernandez for his solidarity and thanked Education Minister Melanio Paredes for commemorating the tragedy in Dominican schools yesterday. Flags at all Dominican schools were flown at half-mast yesterday in memory of the victims. Cineas says that the claims that aid was rejected are false, adding that he has no idea who released such information.
