Venezuelan migrants halted on Colombia-Ecuador border

2018-08-20 1

Hundreds of Venezuelan migrants wait outside the Ecuadoran Migration offices at the Rumichaca border bridge between Colombia and Ecuador, hoping to get authorization to enter Ecuador after fleeing the crisis in their country. Colombia says it fears that Ecuador's border controls, which went into effect Saturday, will leave thousands of Venezuelans stranded in Colombia, from where an estimated 3,000 cross every day.
