The UN extends support to migrant populations in Costa Rica, focusing on health, housing, and hygiene for women and children.

The UN is extending support to migrant populations in Costa Rica, focusing on health, housing, and hygiene, while ensuring dignified treatment and upholding their rights. The initiative targets women and children, who make up around 20% of the transiting population. In 2023, over half a million people entered Costa Rica from Panama, more than double the previous year. The UN team in San Jose, alongside partners, has supported over 84,000 people with medical assistance, legal advice, food aid, hygiene kits, and safe space care.
