It’s a very difficult situation, very sad, and we’re helping (…) There are already several shipments and we’ve had trouble unloading food because the Bands have taken over almost all of Haiti, “Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador said Wednesday at a press conference.

The president detailed that sometimes “there were shootings” and that the Mexican authorities were forced to anchor the ships “to wait for conditions.” He also indicated that in one of the operations, the unloading of food had to be suspended when it was halfway due to the riots.
