René Max Auguste, the store manager estimates that the losses and damages exceed 2 million US dollars. He laments the lack of police intervention to protect the store, stressing that this is a bad signal for local or international investors to do business in Haiti.

He assures us that the store and the depot will be rebuilt. The 80 employees of Valerio Canez are still in shock.
