Construction work is progressing on land adjoining Ciudad Caribia Hospital, where heavy machinery is carrying out levelling work. The site, which borders a baseball field, is hosting the preparation of eight terraces intended for the temporary housing projects.

The national Executive aims to benefit those affected by the earthquakes through these temporary structures, according to authorities. Work continues at an accelerated pace in the area.
