A vessel carrying more than 174 tons of emergency supplies has left for Dominica from Russia in the wake of Hurricane Maria.
The vessel left the port of Novorossiysk on the night of 14 December following a request of the Commonwealth of Dominica and order of the Russian Government, according to a report from the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defence, Emergencies and Elimination of Consequences of Natural Disasters
The supplies include food, construction materials, mobile power stations, and tents.
By the end of the month, the Russian government will be sending another 61 tons of humanitarian aid to Dominica.
In September the island was hit by Hurricane Maria which ripped off roofs and severely damaged many buildings.
Official reports show that 31 people have died and 34 missing and presumed dead in the wake of the hurricane.
AMEN to that!!!!

I wish the U.S.A would do the same by allowing the Dominican people who’s visa are pending for years at the U.S. embassy in Barbados to be able to get there visa , and green cards to migrate to the U.S. rather than sitting in limbo, and accumulating dust in Barbados , while they allow all the other foreigners from the middle east to come to the U,S,, while we in the Caribbean which is part of the so call the Americas sit in limbo. then when we have another Grenada incident they are quick to send in troops, base on the Monroe doctrine REALLY look what the V.I. and PR is going thru, thank you PUTIN .
Lapo u hearing america cutting down on both legal and illegal inmigration, u waiting for them to issue visa.. All u will have to seek other options?
We are appreciating the efforts and help from Russia we hope also that the ministery of foreign Affairs of Russia will announce the visa free as they have done it with the other Caribbean country such as Saint Kitts .
Thanks to Russia
