Dominican Republic starts building Haiti border wall
The wall will cover almost half of the border between the two countries. Many Haitians cross the border in search of work in the fields or in the construction industry in the Dominican Republic.
The Dominican Republic began building a wall to cover parts of its border with Haiti on Sunday.
Haiti is the Dominican Republic's only land neighboras both countries are located on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. The wall will cover nearly half of the 392-kilometer (244-mile) border between the two countries.
What did the Dominican government say about the wall?
"The benefit for both nations will be of great importance," Dominican President Luis Abinader said at the start of construction.
