A 20-year-old woman died in the city of El Alto after she could not be transported to a hospital in time due to the road blockades, police reported.

Colonel René Tambo confirmed that this is the third person to die under similar circumstances involving a medical emergency and difficulties in transportation caused by the blockades.

He explained that the young woman had underlying health problems and was attended to by family members and an ambulance, but because of the blockades she was unable to reach a hospital promptly.

In recent days, two other women have also been reported dead, including a tourist, who could not be transported in time to receive medical attention.
