SANTIAGO.- The Government concentrates its effort in the towns of the northern Cibao region affected by the storms Noel and Olga.
Yesterday was the fourth consecutive day in which president Leonel Fernandez visited the zone and will head the Cabinet meeting in this city today, where 10,000 rations of food consisting of three ready-meals are distributed every day to the more than 2,000 families in the shelters, as well as mattresses, blankets, mosquito nets and medical assistance.
The Head of State pledged the construction of 600 houses, whereas Santiago governor Jose Izquierdo said a census is being taken to determine how many of those in the shelters need government assistance, to prevent “infiltrated” people from benefiting from the calamity. "In La Barranquita there were only 300 people and there are already 600, because they have come even from the South."

Since the make up statistics, numbers and lie they think everyone else does. How insensitive can they be!
The people were fed and clothed alright, but in theprocess, half of the people in Manzanillo were also. There was absolutely no effort made to define who exactly was to be the recipient of thegovernment assistance.
Evidently, the same thing is happening in thearea cited and elsewhere.
Again, incompetent appointees running the show resulting in excessive aid being handed out and costing even more.
TB
and only that is the effort they made, others are working their a%%es off,
Like i noted before, this govcerment is only on the P.R. for re-elections and personal gains (you can call that justified corruption)
Other things, like really sweating and worrieng about the people who really need help, was rapidly forgotten last weekend during his pesonal reliefcampain in his presidential house in juan Dolio.
Off course you cannot expect that the goverment "works" during the weekends ...
come on
maybe he can buy more motorcycles for his employees and refrigerators..
i know this for a fact, this guy is useless
