While the situation is not yet back to normal in all gas stations in Haiti that are out of fuel https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-26687-haiti-flash-shortage-of-diesel-avoided-in-haiti.html especially in the North where the precious liquid is sold in bulk in the streets at more than 700 pesos per gallon in Cap-Haïtien https://www.haitilibre.com/en/news-26678-haiti-news-zapping.html , many Haitian taxi-motos cross the border and go to Dajabón in the Dominican Republic, to get fuel.

While many say that without gasoline they can not work, others come back 6 to 7 times in a single day to get fuel, either to make reservs, supply other colleagues or simply to fuel the lucrative parallel market of fuel resale on the sidewalks in Haiti "Without gas there is no more work, that's why we cross in Dominican territory to supply us, I entered three times and if I can come back other times I would do it because the situation is serious," said a Haitian motorcycle driver who was lining up with other compatriots at the petrol station at the entrance of Dajabón.

Until yesterday, the Dominican border authorities had not taken any particular measures to control the entry of Haitian taxi motorcycles, who asked them to understand their situation in Haiti and not to close the door...

In the Dominican stations, the employees stated that they did not distinguish between Dominicans and Haitians and that they sold fuel to all those who requested it, as they usually do.
