For more than a year, the crises have been multiplying and growing in Haiti, as a result, thousands of Haitians, among those who have fled the country, are constantly being repatriated by the United States, Mexico and the Dominican Republic among others. Should be noted that the Dominican Republic, due to its proximity, is the country that receives and returns the most Haitian migrants in an irregular migration situation.

Reception at the border :

In terms of support at the border, the Support Group for Returnees and Refugees (GAAR) continues to strengthen its vigilance in order to ensure respect for the rights of Haitian migrants. Unfortunately, migrants' rights continue to be violated by Dominican migration authorities. The testimonies provided by the migrants recount cases of mistreatment, poor conditions of detention and repatriation.

For the month of August, the GARR identified 93 pregnant women and 123 unaccompanied minors among the repatriated persons.

In Belladère, GAAR provided basic assistance (psychosocial support, food, accommodation, hygiene kits and transport costs) to 378 returnees: 38 women, 323 men, 7 girls and 10 boys.
