Additional Information / Shotlist 00:00:00:00 - 00:00:02:04
We cannot continue to normalize

00:00:02:04 - 00:00:02:28
what’s happening
in the Darien Gap.

00:00:02:28 - 00:00:04:22
More than 127.000 people

00:00:04:22 - 00:00:06:10
from Venezuela and Haiti,

00:00:06:10 - 00:00:08:25
but also from China,
India and Afghanistan

00:00:09:02 - 00:00:11:05
have crossed this year
this jungle

00:00:11:05 - 00:00:13:25
controlled by criminal groups,

00:00:13:25 - 00:00:15:03
which divides Colombia
from Panama.
00:00:15:03 - 00:00:17:07
But... what does this
crossing really mean?

00:00:17:07 - 00:00:18:11
For 3 to 15 days,

00:00:18:11 - 00:00:20:21
walkers are exposed
to all kinds of risks.

00:00:20:21 - 00:00:23:29
At our physical and
mental health care posts,

00:00:23:29 - 00:00:25:05
in the Panamanian Darien,

00:00:25:05 - 00:00:27:24
we hear stories about
robberies, kidnappings,

00:00:27:24 - 00:00:29:10
attacks, and rape committed

00:00:29:10 - 00:00:31:02
by criminal groups.

00:00:31:03 - 00:00:34:08
People die from
falling off cliffs

00:00:34:08 - 00:00:36:09
or being swept away
by strong rivers.

00:00:36:16 - 00:00:38:29
Those who manage
to make it, in many cases,

00:00:38:29 - 00:00:41:16
have injuries and wounds

and suffer from dehydration
and diarrhea
00:00:41:16 - 00:00:44:22
due to poor access
to water and food

along the route.

00:00:44:22 - 00:00:47:18
It is worrying that states
are not guaranteeing safe

00:00:47:18 - 00:00:49:22
and dignified routes for migrants.

00:00:49:28 - 00:00:52:08
However, far from decreasing,

00:00:52:08 - 00:00:53:24
we know that the number
of migrants

00:00:53:24 - 00:00:54:19
will continue to increase.

00:00:54:25 - 00:00:57:01

to know about the Darien?
