Venezuelans are again fleeing their nation’s economic and humanitarian disaster. The disease COVID-19 and measures to slow its spread halted one of the world’s biggest migration movements. Venezuelans are going to Colombia to escape an economy where many people earn less than two dollars a month. The number of people leaving is smaller than before. But Colombian immigration officials expect 200,000 Venezuelans to enter the country in the next few months. In Colombia, there is the chance for them to find work, which will allow them to send money back to feed their families. The new migrants are finding conditions worse than those who fled Venezuela before COVID-19. Many shelters remain closed. Colombians fearing infection are less likely to help with food donations. And drivers are less likely to pick up hitchhikers.
