The Netherlands helps Dominica after Hurricane Maria

Dominica receives emergency aid from the Netherlands after Hurricane Maria.

The navy is going to bring relief, carry out evacuations and map the damage, according to the Ministry of Defense. The ship has already arrived at Dominica, and a helicopter from Zeeland has already picked up the first injured and taken to the hospital.

Defense emphasizes that aid to poor Dominica is not at the expense of aid to Saint-Maarten that caused Hurricane Irma's injury two weeks ago. On Dominica, many hurdles are grounded by the hurricane on Monday, and there is still no power.
