For several months, Haiti has been facing a serious fuel shortage which directly impacts the quality of life. The panorama has been used by organized crime to hijack tank trucks and sell their contents at high prices. 

After the tragedy, other authorities also expressed their solidarity with the Haitian people. 

At the United Nations, spokesperson Stéphane Dujarric spoke on the subject. 

 We join our colleagues there in expressing our condolences and solidarity with the Haitian people following the explosion of a gasoline tanker truck overnight in the northern city of Cap-Haitien 

did he declare. 

On the other hand, the Cuban Government also expressed its condolences for the tragedy in the country.
