SOT, Luis Miguel, Colombian camping at Guarulhos airport (Portuguese): "About 210 people are camping here at the Guarulhos airport. We are looking for a flight to go back to Colombia. We have been here for about 15 days at the airport with children, elderly people, entire families. The Colombian government is not giving us an answer, since all the people who are here at the airport have no money to pay for a return flight."

SOT, Nubia, Colombian camping at Guarulhos airport (Spanish): "We are here at the Guarulhos airport due to the pandemic that severely affected our lives. We have been without a job for almost three months already, and cannot pay rent and bills. We needed to come here, many families, men and women. We have babies, adults, elderly. We are in a situation where the Colombian government does not want to listen to us. We asked the Chancillery and President Ivan Duque for help and for a return home that would be humanitarian, that's really the word. Because we don't have even one Real to survive. We live thanks to the charity of Brazilians and some Colombians who have lived here many years, they have brought food and diapers for our kids. The airport has given us the opportunity to be here and to not have to go out there, since winter is starting and we have many little ones. We only ask to be able to go back home, to return with our families. There we have mom, dad, a family that supports us."

Some 200 Colombians affected by the COVID-19 pandemic have been living in Sao Paulo's Guarulhos International Airport, asking for Bogota to repatriate them for the past two weeks, as seen in footage from Sunday.
The families made up of adults, children and elderly people were seen sleeping on the floor of the airport's Terminal 2. The group is asking to return to Colombia, because they have no jobs or money left to live in Brazil.
"The Colombian government is not giving us an answer, since all the people who are here at the airport have no money to pay for a return flight," said Colombian citizen Luis Miguel.
"We don't have even one Real to survive. We live thanks to the charity of Brazilians and some Colombians who have lived here many years," said Colombian citizen Nubia. "The airport has given us the opportunity to be here and to not have to go out there, since winter is starting and we have many little ones. We only ask to be able to go back home, to return with our families."
An airport team is reportedly in contact with the Colombian Consulate in Sao Paulo and is awaiting action.
