The closing of the border also coincides with a request on behalf of the Ministry of Foreign Relations for collaboration from Haitian authorities to stop channeling the waters of the Masacre River. Farmers in Dajabon say the construction would affect the water supply to the Dominican Republic side of the border.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On Monday, 4 September 2023, four family members were killed inside their house in the Aminilla community in the municipality of Partido, Dajab\u00f3n province on the border with Haiti.
