a reality that cannot be ignored

The issue of Venezuelan migrants in the Darién is a matter of great importance and complexity. According to reports from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), thousands of people have crossed the Darien jungle on their way to Central America and the United States in search of better opportunities and living conditions.

However, the journey through the Darién is extremely dangerous and many migrants have lost their lives or suffered serious injuries along the way. In addition, many of them face additional difficulties related to the lack of access to food, clean water, medical attention and other basic services.

The Panamanian government and various international organizations have been working to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants passing through the Darién, including setting up temporary shelters and distributing basic supplies. However, the situation remains very difficult for migrants who face multiple challenges on their way to a better future.

• According to the IOM, it is estimated that around 30,000 Venezuelan migrants have crossed the Darien jungle in recent years. Many of them have fled the economic and political crisis in Venezuela in search of better opportunities and living conditions in other countries.
• The journey through the Darién is dangerous due to the extreme weather conditions, the lack of roads and the presence of illegal armed groups. Many migrants have suffered serious injuries or lost their lives on the way.
• In addition to physical dangers, migrants also face difficulties related to the lack of access to basic services such as food, clean water, and medical care. Many have reported abuses and human rights violations along the way.
• The Panamanian government has worked to provide humanitarian assistance to migrants, including setting up temporary shelters and distributing basic supplies. However, the country’s ability to handle the situation is limited due to its own economic and political crisis.
• Several international organizations are also working to provide assistance to migrants in the Darién, including IOM, the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) and the International Red Cross.

20% OF MIGRANTS ARE CHILDREN

According to reports from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), it is estimated that around 20% of the migrants who have crossed the Darién in recent years are boys and girls. These children face multiple challenges during their journey, including lack of access to basic services such as medical care, food and clean water, as well as the risk of injury or illness during the journey.

Most of the migrants who have crossed the Darién in recent years are Venezuelan nationals. According to reports from the International Organization for Migration (IOM), around 95% of the migrants who have arrived in Panama through the Darién are of Venezuelan origin, fleeing the economic and political crisis in their country. However, there are also migrants of other nationalities, such as Colombia, Haiti and Cuba, among others.

According to the IOM, it is estimated that around 30,000 Venezuelan migrants have crossed the Darién in recent years. Many of them have fled the economic and political crisis in Venezuela in search of better opportunities and living conditions in other countries.

Venezuelan migrants crossing the Darién face multiple challenges, including a lack of access to basic services such as food, clean water, and medical care. Many have reported abuses and human rights violations along the way.

In addition, many Venezuelan migrants who arrive in Panama do not have legal documents and face difficulties in regularizing their immigration status. This can hinder their access to basic services and job opportunities in the country.

Despite these challenges, many Venezuelan migrants continue to reach Panama through the Darién. The Panamanian government and various international organizations continue to work to provide humanitarian assistance to these migrants, including setting up temporary shelters and distributing basic supplies.
