The President of the Republic, Nicolás Maduro, reported this Saturday that he gave instructions to provide all possible collaboration for the aid of the people affected by the earthquake in Haiti.
"All our solidarity and support to the noble people of Haiti," said the president at the Teresa Carreño Theater in Caracas, where he led a meeting with the candidates of the United Socialist Party of Venezuela (PSUV).
"We are going to support Haiti with everything we know how to do in civil protection and with everything we can," he said, adding that the executive vice president, Delcy Rodríguez, and the Minister of the Interior, Justice and Peace, Carmen Meléndez, will be in charge of this task.
So far, the Haitian authorities confirmed that there have been 304 fatalities and 1.800 injured from the devastating 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck the nation on August 14, and declared a State of Emergency for a month, according to EFE.
