 Medical supplies may cross Costa-Rica border closed 9 days

After nine days of closure f the border between Panama and Costa Rica, Panama’s Chamber of Freight Transportation has requested the passage of at least 40 trucks with medicines and perishable items. 

Costa Rican civil society and unions linked to the closure during anti-Government protests have said that they could allow the passage for humanitarian reasons.

Andrés Muñoz, of the National Chamber, hopes that they will allow the passage by Friday.

Edgar Gutiérrez, from the Costa Rican union, said that, above all, the movement is “people”, so he believes that they will not oppose the humanitarian step.
