Matina’s dike broke and isolated the community

As a result of the overflow of Matina’s river, the dike of the area broke along 200 meters between the cemetery and Finca La Luisa on Monday at 3 o’clock in the afternoon.

According to the Fire Department, the four-mile community was isolated with the situation.
