Due to the inspection that the Land Transit and Transportation Authority (ATTT) announced that it will carry out, at 10:30 in the morning, on the buses that transport irregular migrants from the province of Darién to the Temporary Immigration Reception Station located in Los Planes de Gualaca, in the province of Chiriqui, the National Migration Service decided to temporarily suspend the humanitarian corridor.
The suspension of the transfer of irregular migrants will be in force until the Tricoito and Land Transportation Authority completes the inspections and review of the documents to the borrower that provides the service.
The ATTT will carry out these inspections after the last two events where two migrant transport buses were involved in traffic events and a fire. The traffic accident that occurred on February 15 left a balance of 41 people dead, 40 of them irregular migrants. The other event did not leave victims or injuries, since the people left on time; but the bus was completely consumed by flames.
Migration assured that for more than 10 years through the humanitarian corridor, bus drivers from the Darién province, grouped in a borrower, offer the transfer of migrants who enter Panama irregularly to the Darién jungle.
