School shelters halt classes

[NewsWhore]

Thousands of school children cannot attend classes because their schools are still housing evacuees from Tropical Storm Noel. Forty schools in Santo Domingo, San Cristobal, Ocoa, Bani, Azua, Bahouco, Barahona, Monsignor Nouel and Duarte provinces are still occupied by over 10,000 displaced people. There is not much hope that lessons will resume any time soon since the Center for Emergency Operations (COE) has issued a Red Alert for most of these same provinces. According to the COE, 87 shelters are open, housing 10,837 people.
