and build through the dairying gap. and it was one of the most impressive, sad and devastating stories i've, i've covered. how good have you have the stream and 14 for a really difficult story to share with international audience. but tell them who you are, what you do. thank you. i am jim. i mean, i am the head of mission. i met in mexico on panama. i get to have you i'm just thinking about the diary and gap and how i describe it. teresa, can you help me because you would not so long ago. how would you tell our audience what it is like for my kids to arrive at town and know that they have to go through this jungle and what happens to them in that jungle? and if they manage to make it out the other side. well, well, we arrived to the colombian city of nic oakley, and when once we were there we started thousands and thousands and thousands of

people just piling beer. they were not being allowed by the columbia. and i'm in authority to cross what is known as a going to continue with their journey towards panama. people arriving there were desperate, many have very little resources there. all one can make it either to mexico or the united states as a final destination. they know that the trip is going to be difficult, but they never imagine, you know, how difficult many of the people i spoke to in the beginning of that journey. they were telling me, we know it's very hard, but in the end of that journey, which is in a town of back, would you go in panama? you know, they said had i known what i was going to go to, i would have never taken this journey. we personally, we were not allowed to cross at the time. security conditions were not, you know, it was extremely dangerous for us to do so. but we did cover a big part of the true true pattern with through colombia and then all the other side from panama. and you know, people arrived to the other side hungry. many have been women have been raped

children id hydrated in and many died along the way. so we have very, very, very difficult journey for them to embark on. you know, i couldn't agree more. i was in by had to quito just last week. i saw a lot of the same thing, i think what really struck me as you see the migrants walking into about how to quito coming out of the jungle, how tired this oriented they are, and the look on their faces. and i had the chance to speak with quite a few of them. and something that really struck me was, 1st of all, they all talked about how this is nothing like what they expected that, you know, that's the 1st thing. but they all talked about the faces that they saw because they pass through so many corpses along the way. so they are also in a state of almost psychological shock when they arrive. and almost all of them also

talked about how if they could, they would go back home gucci who's making this journey. i showed them that earlier . so where between columbia and panama. so who are these migrants? who, who dare to go through a jungle and potential death? they not all gonna make it. so we saw migrants, people from hey, the people from venezuela, people from dominican republic, people from as far away as, as becca stan angola, guinea. so it's a range of people from different countries. but the other thing that really struck me is that they're young because to survive the journey, you have to be young and able bodied, many of them talked about their parents who were with them, but who died are injured and still i'm in the forests. so that's, that's what we see, a range of nationalities,

but young on young people. i'm going to explore that the, the young people who are making this journey and hammer their maintenance on frontier did a documentary. they talked to some of the people who had made it through the dorian gap and you'll see how young they are and the kind of risks that they took. it's take a look. a lot of them put us on the know for us now. he let him up, it so know yet will be thought on bill to you. so you must, we're eating. i was out of you. she do my philosophy, greece i, i own glerison girl. good. but i could also gave where you live, ball gay. the, i'm a federal, sad seeing a good also say you will add the hi deanna allowed are real

laughter at real. you know, i said little san lucas. we want lemon, a homo mitty. send me a meal. who are no i so when i nino, the bus one, a nino governor, nino, i deanna but then and then also i notice on young about my son. so frontier doctors without borders. what kind of state did you find people in outbreak gone for the daren gap? i mean, well the numbers are mentioning the number of people are crossing their that guy. but as we have seen, more than 30000 people in our 1st position, we are prison in the back. what you keep ending the migration of stations in april . it was an emergency for us because many me around in mexico, in the had sense of where we are providing they were mentioning the nightmare that

was good us into that in. so finally we didn't explode. i missed you. i mean, march. and they were already operating, they had sent him back for 2 people and supporting it. busy as well, we've had to make it up to the and told me that the, the station in the land and in some be sent him back to the 1st place where people are arriving. and some of the other collaborators from that were mentioning that he said he's amazing one hand it, he's all the head problem related to walk during 5 to 7 days. nowadays. that is the last project that they can do in canada. but before they were $5.00 to $7.00 days more than more than many months, we said that they are a. busy 1000000 so that means that that is the capital. sometimes i do

a little bit all and others said that's a little bit younger, but they are when the children sometimes listen, some time mine or no, not from pain. and what they had mentioned to me that at the beginning they go in groups, but there is one moment talk with the the images that people they lost their, their companion. and finally they needed to be in harvey to continue continue on advancing. and finally many people, they just leave their. 3 relatives and they have to continue. so at the same time, their war is the 6 a lot of violence and the violence that the funding because they got a boost of what they put in groups that they are and they are, they, they, me, grant. sometimes we followed the violence, not the same time, they separate the women and they,

they weighed them. so this is what i well we out of service and then they didn't our center together with a ministry of counseling, but yes, and we had, are equally concerned about the cases of g, b, v. and what's especially a violence rape, sexual violence. but what's even more concerning is that we know that many of these cases are under reported. they don't want to report because they want to spend as minimal time as possible and just and just pass and find me at the beginning. you were mentioning the numbers 100000 possibly 850000. it's important to also highlight that the numbers that have passed through this year is more than have passed through in the past 10 years. why? well, what we are seeing from our programs is that one is the impact of cov it economic people and they know my yes. and when you speak to them,

they all say we're looking for better opportunities for, for our family. to me, to go ahead what, what, you know, my experience is when, when people we were talking to them and people were completely traumatized as a documentary from doctors without borders call. i mean women where they did not want to talk about what happened to them, but then, you know, we went to not on camera of course, and they were explaining to us how, you know, they were going in groups and then they separate. they were separated and then criminal groups with face covered. they didn't know whether they were colombians or panamanians because that's an area that's important to know. that's an area where the goals, you know, there's a paramilitary groups operate in that area, colombian paramilitary groups. but then there's criminal organizations on the other side. so the, the migrant, they pay some either call your teeth or guide as they call them. they're charging about a $100.00 each. so they explode that they're going to be taken to the other side.

but what happens is that once they arrive the middle of that trip, they, you know, they are either abandoned or they are kidnapped in a way by other group. and then there's separated and that's when women are taken to one side. and i was told that for example, theresa like kind of which we are women were taken to one side. yeah. so as excuse me for, for interrupting you. i want to show some of the recordings and the people that you spoke to because it's so so powerful when you hear it from your own voices. so this is some of 2 eaters reporting for al jazeera. in the felt less taken up, florida says they were assaulted, a woman from her group was raped and she had to cover herself in mud to protect herself into you'll see, rape has become the norm. you know, i mean on melina video in the amber you, any of mary? i failed one, which i love my go in a tamela

lee with a new, a new yoletta a long, long ago. i have been going on, hardin going on. i only deal with them and all your they'll probably be another one of my funding and what they do is you were saying that some women were being targeted. yeah, go ahead. no, it's not targeted and there's a chill violence and there's the criminal organizations that are operating in that area. and it's, you know, it's, if you look at, for example, the conflict in columbia and so areas are completely out of control authority. there is no security in panama and some areas of the country. there's similar situation, maybe not a period in columbia. so there's no control at a point. there were some talk between, you know, re, general 40 to try to guarantee a safe bass or migrant. but, you know,

for what i have heard, you know, it's, it's been, you know, they haven't tab, there's something that can move forward and it's, it's necessary. i mean, people crossing that border are victims to criminal organizations to gangs upgrading. and that area, mostly women are children. everyone i spoke to and i'm talking, you know, we spoke to dozens of women. everyone had been wrong. everyone had lost all their belongings, their phones. so it's a very violent trade. it's a very, you know, it needs people traumatized that many regret even embarking on that journey. but after all of the women that we were just seeing, you know, i spoke to her recently and he's already, she's already in the united states. so, you know, at a point she was asking me please, you know, let the voice out of what would happen to us. but, you know, she's, she's now in the united states and asking for asylum. so people feedback and that's why they continue to go. and you know, what, just as you know, we were hearing is thousands and thousands of people continue to go there. i'm

going to bringing another voice into conversation guess, and then i have so many questions on youtube for you. i'm going to ask you to maybe help out with understand exactly what's going on from your perspective. robert mckee. oh and is from the global migration center. he's the deputy director and he knows that this room, this route for the dorian gap. it's a very well known route, if it's so well known, the atrocities that happened to migrate it so well, no. what do you do about that? us fortunately, the darien gap, it's incredibly dangerous and has become a kind of a routine part of the migrant trail from people coming from south america through central america. and the only solution i see would be for someone, some organization to be there to meet my grants at the beginning of the gap in northern columbia and take them through to one of the shelters that the panamanian

government hosts in central panama. ah, i don't know if that's who we feasible, but you know, it's become part of rule is a routine part of migration for a lot of people and a lot of people die, passing through it become seriously ill, become seriously traumatized. let's tackle some of the questions that you can share with as phyllis. this is carlos, he says the dawning region between columbia and the panama border has been a very dangerous place to refugees because a trafficking of drugs, government should implement protection for those migrate. that's what robert was saying, protection gucci. is that possible? it's part of the solution, but it's not the whole solution. we as m, i o m, have been working with the government of panama. they have increased patrols in the gap. we have seen at least the number of reported cases of sexual violence reduced, but we know that that is not enough to deal with the overall issue of migration. it

needs to be a regional approach because there's so many countries in the region involved. but it also needs to be a range of things that need to be done. first of all, increasing regular opportunities for migration, for these migrants addressing the root causes and the drivers of migration where they come from, giving them opportunities to voluntarily returns. you have the answers, why we were surrounding in the studio by mike was going through hell, right? so you have all the answers. why are we still seeing a? well, at this point, it, there is cautious optimism because on the political side, the leaders of the countries involved are keen to address this issue. the you and migration agency. we've actually just put out an appeal for $75000000.00 for a comprehensive regional response that will involve

a range of un agencies. so we know what to do and the political will know what is there or is it being done? this is the panama president, he's talking about this whole issue about if people are leaving because they don't have enough money, they don't have jobs. that could be the root cause. that is the real close. here is speaking on october, the 20th emory goldman though we have recommended a public investment program and a public infrastructure program to generate employment, a public infrastructure program to generate massive employment. so that the people of he, the haitians stay in their country so that they see progress and a future and haiti, bro, initial photo, any more, you cheat, comments and questions, let me put this one tea, theresa advert james os. is there no way that my class can get to that destination without going through the horrifying forest, the jungle?

well, our people, if we have spoken to know that they have to, they have a path that they go through. you know, they've been in touch with, you know, their co pays or guide before and, and they know the way, i mean, this is something that should be, you know, that authority regional authority should make a safe passage when we were in nick oakley, for example. you know, migrant, we're going to go one way and then be ended up changing the tray and then that's where that's the part that we filmed be agreed with. it was kind of a very complex situation because you had, because your kids are guides that work with our military group. you know, working together with a may, your, of, of, i can be a small town in columbia, helping them migrant through the way towards panama. and they were trying to make sure that, that it was like a faith back. what i found out is that when we met them on the other side, it was not at the fact that people were robbed, they were harassed. children died, women were raped, you know when this is something that continues, i met with

a foreign minister of fine am i while we were in panama also, and she wanted to create the safe passage. but the other thing that when we found out is that when we went to back what you keep the, where dr without orders has a field hospital, they were the only ones working there, you know, migrants were not receiving any assistance from panama while they were there there were no food, they had nothing to drink, children were dehydrated and the only one helping them for doctors without borders . so i think that much more needs to be done by regional government because they, they kind of treat them as migrant. they won't invest in them, they just want them to keep them going. but what you have right now at the gallery and got what you have in, in back. what you keep, though, is a humanitarian crisis that need to be dealt with, you know, local authority and local authorities in many cases, either don't care or don't have the resources. jim, i want you to talk about safe passage. i know you have some thoughts here, but may i play festival? joshua collins, and then when you finish, listening to him react immediately. here is this really illustrates,

is the attempts to control and militarize these borders or prevent passage of migrants. doesn't stop migration really pushes these vulnerable communities into the hands of our leaders in criminal owners control passage. if people really want to try and make a humanitarian response to this problem, i think the only solution that i can see it's to apply some sort of humanitarian corridor. it allows for state passage yes. know exactly what that mr. ashby's look 18. a safety, a route where make run relation in transit. they don't have to suffer the violence that they had experience seeing in that in graph i want to fight. busy 2 things.

one is that the route one of them that this a little bit more norther and you don't have to pass back what you do, you go directly from starting in next. hopefully go through a couple of a little bits, but i think and, and radio and you finish in somebody sent it in there might make ration station in, somebody sends it that route is more expensive. and then that the rude people that's an expedient the thing by unit is really very patient. so if that is one of them, not the but he is much more expensive this out there. is that the other route that the, that we're going out with from naples? neat ghost as well. gandhi, i growth all day gender, feel about her to people. i said the last 2 days now that he said the dog, so the phone on my 2 days. and this is the place where he is much more than you do

when he happen old by your land. so i agree that he said some politic that can be sold in long term, but they need of the money tag in response, not only from the actors and in backward, especially as people say we are the only one. finally ministry of head they yes. well they, they designated some have to be with that in the head sensor, but there is no other actor and there are big need. people are camping in any place now, them over the my and that he's no lead trained. there are big bud conditions. hi. didn't conditions that really needs to be improved and he suddenly as i said as that that we can work on these together with community and then after on. so these kind of jam late that really now we so again, thank you, gemma,

thank you teresa. thank you, go she for telling us about the dorian gap between panama and columbia. and it's where so many migrates, have a fearful journey as they head towards the united states. thanks for watching everybody. we just recommend 2 things for you back here on my laptop, pan, american gateway to hope that is to ease oppose reporting. it is extremely informative and it also makes sense on frontier that down in gap, a dangerous, inhumane route. thanks to watching the next time i, it's the was both populous democracy. diverse dynamic and undergoing moment is seen context, india dixon, in depth. look at the people and politics of india. exploring how the coven 19 pandemic struck the nation. it's continuing impact and the lessons learned for the future. join me fade as those are for context. india on august is either
