Smuggled fuel pours into Haiti as embargo starts
Smugglers rush hundreds of gallons of gas and diesel from the Dominican Republic into Haiti as UN sanctions take effect. Armed Haitian soldiers watch while boats cross Saumatre Lake and unload into tugs bound for Port au Prince. Journalists are driven away as border authorities fail to halt the flow. Gas prices soar from $1.60 in the DR to about $8 in Haiti amid cross border profiteering by militaries.

U.S. forces stepped up gas shipments hours before a broadened embargo aimed at smuggling across the border. The Clinton administration and U.N. officials hoped Balaguer would honor pledges to keep the embargo intact, but Sunday shipments indicate Dominican authorities have not yet complied.
