Farmers block Federal Highway 200 in Oaxaca: Media sources on August 19 reported that farmers have staged intermittent blockades on Federal Highway 200 near San Andrés Huaxpaltepec, between Pinotepa Nacional and Puerto Escondido in Oaxaca, Mexico, to demand direct federal support for crop losses caused by Hurricane Erik since August 12. The blockades extend to key points including the Río Verde Bridge, Río Grande intersection, and Puerto Escondido International Airport, where access closures caused flight cancellations. The demonstrations will continue until authorities address their demands. Logistics disruptions are likely.
