The political crisis in Peru indirectly affects some Ecuadorians who are stranded and unable to return to Ecuador by any means. His relatives ask the authorities for help so that a humanitarian flight can be generated.
Karina Faicán, a young nurse, traveled from Cuenca to Cusco last Tuesday without imagining the drama that she would have to go through.
She was supposed to return on Monday of this week, but because the protesters took over the airport in that city, the only option left to her, to this day, is to stay the night at the air terminal.
What does the state of emergency entail in Peru? Is there a curfew?
She is overcoming the drama in the company of two other acquaintances, but by telephone she reported that there are more than 150 compatriots in this situation.
He mentioned that they have been forced to stay there because in the event of a humanitarian flight, priority will be given to those who are there. There were also those who offered them lodging, but it was not something of solidarity, rather they had to pay for each night.
Karen Macillo, a young woman from Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, told this newspaper that the situation of the passengers is complex, because there are people of all ages sleeping on cardboard and eating on the floor, sheltering with what they have at hand because there is no blankets and in terms of food they are helping each other because there is no way out.

But the scene is more dramatic because in the midst of the chaos there are older adults who require medicine or babies who must change their diapers or consume something appropriate for their age.
“The situation is critical, we don’t know what will happen tomorrow and we need to return to our country with our families,” he said.
An additional fact that he mentioned was that on Tuesday night they had the opportunity to travel to Lima, but the authorities of the Peruvian Corporation of Airports and Commercial Aviation (Corpac) did not authorize the flight and it left without passengers, totally empty.
But in Cuenca those who suffer from a distance are the relatives who feel impotent because they cannot do anything to help them.
Esther Pulla, Karina’s mother, is emotionally upset because what started as a pleasure trip ended in a nightmare. “Last night he called me crying, he wanted to be with you now and he’s starting to panic,” said the distraught mother, who pleaded with the authorities to return them safely as soon as possible.
Karina works as a pediatric nurse at the Vicente Corral Moscoso public hospital and was due to return to work this Friday, but with this situation getting out of hand, she has another headache because she does not want to lose her job.
On this aspect, the manager of the Hospital, María José Vásquez, said that together with the Department of Human Talent they will support her because they have seen that her performance has been good. The agreed solution is that the additional days will be charged on the next vacation.
According to Peruvian media, due to the temporary closure of the Alejandro Velasco Astete international airport, ordered by the authorities in response to registered protests, different airlines that flew daily to and from this destination found it necessary to announce the cancellation of their operations until further notice. .
