SOT, Miliani Rodriguez, makeshift camp resident (Spanish): "During the pandemic they suspended all works. We ran out of work. They charged us for the rent. They charged us for the electricity... as if we were working."

SOT, Miliani Rodriguez, makeshift camp resident (Spanish): "This is like a time bomb. Maybe we are not infected right now. Maybe we are not sick right now, but maybe later we can get sick with the rain. We have children who are few-month-old, 2-month-old, 4-month-old. They are also camping here.”

SOT, Miliani Rodriguez, makeshift camp resident (Spanish): “We have 458 people so far. What happens is that two people, three people, an entire family, arrive every now and then, so sometimes we don't have the exact figures, because we live constantly receiving people.”

Hundreds of Venezuelan nationals living in Colombia set up a makeshift camp in the north of Bogota, as filmed on Tuesday. They have been waiting for a chance to go back the home country while borders were closed due to the COVID-19 crisis.
Many of these people say they left Venezuela due to the economic situation, but the health crisis forced them to seek help to return home.

Before the closure of the borders, thousands of Venezuelans returned to their country as the crisis made them jobless.
