UN Costa Rica and its agencies support #CostaRica in the care of the flows of migrants crossing the country, they highlight in their social media.

Costa Rica has become the main transit route for those crossing the dangerous Darien jungle, whose destination is the United States. According to official figures, some 3,000 migrants arrive daily at Panama’s southern border with this Central American nation.
