The number of illegal migrants who took advantage of the so -called Dariens gap to cross the border of Colombia and Panama in 2023 can reach 400 thousand. This is stated in a report prepared by the UN bodies for refugee and immigration.
Since the beginning of the year, about 100 thousand people have already passed through the Darivesky gap, which is six times higher than last year.
In 2022, approximately 250 thousand migrants used the corresponding route.
The United States promises to help Colombia and Panama in the collection of intelligence data to eliminate smuggles operating in Dariensky.
Darivensky gap is considered a dangerous route for migrants.
