People travelling this route
Diasporas have always done this informally — somebody flying home carries the medicine. This makes it visible inside a community that already knows each other.
Visible to members of a community on this route. Join one to see who is travelling.
If you carry something, you are responsible for it at the border. Never carry anything sealed, anything you have not seen, or anything for someone you do not know. This is not a delivery service and no payment should change hands here.
Notes from people here
Does this match what you see? Official statistics miss people, consulates move, and a number is not the same as a neighbourhood. If something here is wrong or incomplete, say so.
