Necoclí (Colombia) (AFP) – At least 10,000 migrants, mostly Venezuelans, are stranded in Necocli, a port city on the Colombian coast near Panama. They wait for boats to take them to the Central American border in the hope of eventually reaching the United States. According to the Colombian Ombudsman, more than 150,000 people have crossed this year, an increase from the 134,000 migrants registered in 2021.
