Colombia shares 2,200km of border with Venezuela, leading to frequent migratory flows between both countries. Since 2015, at least 5.1 million Venezuelans have left their country. Amidst this complex migration crisis, Colombia has been the main country of reception for Venezuelans and also the main transit country for those heading to other states in the region. There are currently at least 1.7 million Venezuelans in the Colombia.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

In addition to the above, Colombia also shares a 586km land border with Ecuador, which the migrant population passes through when heading to other Andean states as well as countries at the south of the continent such as Chile, Uruguay, Paraguay and Argentina. <\/span>Those entering Colombia comprise Venezuelan nationals, Colombian citizens who had migrated to Venezuela for economic reasons or due to the armed conflict, and are now returning to their country, or mixed families. Among these groups, include people with international protection needs and critical humanitarian needs.<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>

According to information from Migraci\u00f3n Colombia, in September 2020 there were at least 1.7 million Venezuelans in Colombia. And according to the DANE, as of 2021 there are now 2.2 million people originating from Venezuela in Colombia. Of these migrants, 5 in every 10 have irregular status, a situation which reinforces barriers to accessing goods, services and livelihoods.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

Out of the total Venezuelan population, 13,930 were residing in Nari\u00f1o. However, according to the detection of Facebook connections analyzed by iMMAP, in August 2020, 47,511 connections by the Venezuelan population were identified in the department.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>

Due to the restrictions imposed by both the Government of Colombia and the Government of Ecuador in March and April 2020 to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, lasting until May 2021, the humanitarian situation of the migrant population has deteriorated. International border closures, the implementation of additional controls and restrictions around economic activity have led to many people who were transiting from Venezuela through Colombia towards Ecuador to seek refuge in interim municipalities. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
