Ciudad de Panamá. Las autoridades panameñas anunciaron el jueves que construirán un albergue para los migrantes que ingresan por la inhóspita frontera sur que comparte con Colombia, luego de que el fin de semana se registrase la entrada de una nueva oleada de varios centenares, en su mayoría cubanos.

La medida busca darle atención humanitaria a los extranjeros que se arriesgan por ese cruce selvático, aunque desde allí verían cortados sus sueños de seguir camino hacia el norte del continente.
