Additional Information / Shotlist The humanitarian situation in Mexican border cities such as Matamoros is sharply deteriorating as expulsions under Title 42 continue and hundreds of people arrive from the south each day seeking safety in the US.

At least 2.500 people -mostly Venezuelans- are living in makeshift camps without enough shelters or access to basic services, and are at risk of extortion, violence, and kidnapping.

Recently, the US government announced a parole program for 24,000 persons from Venezuela. While the program is perceived, in general terms, as a step in the right direction of ensuring access to international protection, many concerns remain as people in Matamoros are struggling with technical and economic issues to apply.
