Children were thrown into the Atrato River on their way home from school in Chocó: community asks for help from the Government of La Espriella

Diez estudiantes de la Institución Educativa Antonio Ricaurte en Villa Rufina, Chocó, sufrieron un volcamiento de embarcación mientras retornaban a sus hogares tras la jornada escolar en el río Atrato. Afortunadamente, todos fueron rescatados y no hubo heridos graves. La comunidad local ha denunciado que esta situación persiste desde hace años, con más de 35 estudiantes que diariamente cruzan el río sin un transporte escolar oficial. Las familias dependen de embarcaciones privadas o la solidaridad vecinal, lo cual representa un riesgo constante. Gloria Cardona, líder comunitaria, destacó que esta problemática no es nueva y exige una solución urgente. La comunidad ha pedido intervención gubernamental para garantizar un sistema de transporte seguro.
