YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

Around 2.5 million migrants and refugees from Venezuela have crossed the border to neighboring Colombia, to flee their home country’s crisis in hope of a better life. Many have settled just across the border to stay close to home, creating their own settlements. No matter how harsh the conditions there are. Our Latin America correspondent Nicole Ris visited one of them in Maicao.

La Pista, an informal settlement at the edge of Maicao in northeastern Colombia, stretches along a runway of the city's abandoned airport. This is where thousands of Venezuelans fleeing economic and political crisis in their country have decided to settle, despite harsh conditions.
