By the end of June, a total of 195,921 people crossed the Darien jungle region irregularly in 2023, including
100,555 Venezuelans (66% of total crossings). Despite the end of Title 42 in mid-May, 68,414 people crossed the
Darien jungle in May and June, representing more than double the amount during the same period in 2022
(when 29,527 total crossings were registered).
An R4V partner’s protection monitoring exercise in June revealed that around half of interviewed Venezuelans
were coming directly from Venezuela (53%), followed by the countries in which they reported having resided in
the last year, mainly: Colombia (27%), Peru (10%), and Ecuador (6%).
Many refugees and migrants lack the means to continue their journey north. Security incidents against refugees
and migrants in transit continue to be reported, such as violence, rape, and human trafficking.
During the reporting period, Panama’s National Commission for Refugees (CONARE) granted refugee status
recognition to seven Venezuelans.
