Tragedy struck near Panama's coastal community of Carreto as ten migrants lost their lives in a flooded river while attempting to cross the treacherous Darién Gap. The Panama National Border Service (Senafront) confirmed the incident, highlighting the dangers faced by migrants seeking passage from South America to Central America.
Senafront did not disclose the nationalities of the victims or the exact timing of the tragic event. However, the agency suspects the involvement of transnational organized criminals and local collaborators who may have guided the migrants through unauthorized border crossings, endangering their lives.
