100 people are in shelters in Talamanca and Valle La Estrella

One hundred people are still in three shelters enabled by the National Emergency Commission (CNE) in Talamanca and Valle La Estrella due to the floods caused by the rains in the Caribbean.

Some roads are still blocked by landslides and floods, so the CNE will have to return to the area by air to deliver food and give medical attention to the victims.

On Saturday, due to the improvement in weather conditions, it was possible to deliver 600 food supplies kits, mostly to indigenous territories. The food was distributed among the affected localities of Xikiari, Ñari, Nimari, Calveri, Xinabla, Alto Cuen, Boca Cuen, Cariey, Arrocera, Boyey, Alto Bley, Alto Piedra Mesa, Alto Wakabata, Arco Iris Xacava, Batubata, Cartago, Cerro Águila, Cerro Hule, Sitio Rangalle, Pico Blanco, Guayabal, and Tortuga.

The flights will also allow to deliver food and supplies to the owners of production animals in five affected cantons.
