There has been ongoing migration flows from <\/span>Haiti<\/span><\/a>since the 2010 earthquake, as well as countries in Africa and Asia. However, since 2014, these cycles <\/span>have intensified<\/span><\/a>, with refugees and migrants coalescing in municipalities surrounding the Gulf of Urab\u00e1. <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

\"For the most part, the migrants entered the country irregularly through Nari\u00f1o, headed towards the Gulf of Urab\u00e1 through Antioquia, before seeking passage to Panama through the bordering municipality of Sapzurro. The aim of this whole journey was to reach North America. On many occasions, they breached border closures that countries such as Ecuador, Panama, and Colombia had implemented at the beginning of the year due to the covid-19 pandemic. The situation worsened as they were refused tickets to cross legally, and there was the presence of illegal boats. Commenting on this illegal transportation, Juan Francisco Espinosa, director of Migraci\u00f3n Colombia, warned at the time that \"facilitating the mobility of irregular migrants is irresponsible and puts families and individuals at risk.\" <\/span><\/i>See more<\/span><\/i><\/a><\/p>
