After the note of support sent to the Spanish Government on October 30, the Embassy of Haiti in Spain wants to renew its solidarity with all the people of the region of Valencia, Barcelona, ​​and more particularly the Haitian community that resides in these provinces, after the passage of the DANA phenomenon on the night of October 29, and the dramatic floods that continue to wreak havoc and caused more than 200 deaths and thousands of people who have not yet been found.

Since the tragedy until today, the consular section of the Embassy has contacted the compatriots of the Valencian Community where there are 27 in total; and others in Barcelona, ​​approximately 109 Haitians, according to the estimated figures of the register of the Spanish National Institute of Statistics. This communication has made it possible to locate them and know the situation in real time to provide the necessary consular assistance.

To date, the Mission has not recorded any compatriots who have lost their lives.

The Consular Section will continue to collaborate with the entities of the autonomous communities of Spain to obtain adequate information on the Haitian community living in the affected areas. He asks his compatriots to continue following the instructions given by the Spanish Government to reduce the risks.
