GLIDE Record	(2148 of 8314)
Event: OT Other Number: 2015-000157 Country: CRI Costa Rica Location: Date (YMD): 2015-11-12 Time: Duration: Magnitude: Information Source: IFRC Comments: To 15 November, more than 100 Cuban nationals are still in Paso Canoas at the Panamanian border, and at least 800 more migrants are expected in the next two days. Furthermore, some 1000 migrants trying to cross the Costa Rica-Nicaragua border were turned back by Nicaraguan authorities, further compounding their vulnerability due to the uncertainty caused by this refusal to let them pass and forcing them to remain even more time camped in the vicinity of the border. For the Costa Rican authorities, this refusal involves having to set up temporary shelters and services, in addition to the migrants still in transit across Costa Rica and other countries (the latter are not confirmed as yet), which could mean up to 4000 people.
