SÃO PAULO, Brazil – Church organisations in Costa Rica are saying that the State is not acting to help migrants, while some activists argue that the government has all but transferred responsibility for immigrants to the Catholic Church as a migrant crisis overwhelms the country.
The comments follow the tragic deaths of an Ecuadorian immigrant and her six-year-old daughter. The 33-year-old woman was traveling on 28 Feb. with her daughter along with a group of seven people when the vehicle that was taking them to the Nicaraguan border, in the northern region of Costa Rica, fell into the River Medio Queso, near the city of Los Chiles.
