as made the journey to the neighboring country on foot desperate to buy food and medicine not available at home the crossing was closed in february admin as well in president nicolas maduro request following a deepening political crisis opposition leader won by doda clear himself as well as interim president and january arguing that majorities reelection last year was illegitimate. let's cross over now to our correspondent with us who is in the colombian capital bogota good to have you with us tell us what's been happening at the border since it reopened yesterday well the situation is pretty much under control despite the long queues the colombian authorities have also doubled down the efforts in order to ensure that there is a regular crossing between both countries authorities estimate that about 70000 people have crossed the border back and forth so far now this does not necessarily mean that there is more people crossing the border but rather that there is less

people crossing it legally and this means a big relief not only for those families who need the basic goods that you mentioned but also for the families in colombia who are dependent on sales of products toobin as well and let's not forget that is big business and lastly it's a big relief for colombian authorities they are trying to ensure to make every effort they can in order to ensure that this crossing is regular and that there's a record of the people who are entering and leaving the country because every illegal border crossing that means big opportunity for crime and for smuggling do we know what's behind monday rose decision to reopen the border. well for that let's not forget why the border was closed in the 1st place my girl was trying to avoid who many charron aid packages were nice to buy the venezuelan opposition to enter the country through colombia that was the reason why he closed the border in the 1st place now about a week ago the colombian government announced that those humanitarian aid packages

that could not enter the country because my door avoided it and that were stored in colombian territory ever since it would now be distributed to venezuelans in colombia but there is no longer an effort to get that humanitarian aid into venezuelan territory so that would explain the decision at least immediately however if we ask the colombian as well in a position rather than as well in a position considers that this is a reaction to increase pressure from within the country because people are desperate to get food and medicines from colombia and even oil in the country with the biggest oil reserves in the world i these people actually crossing the border to get basic goods or are they set to leave the country for good. well i would say the most pressing situation right now is just to simply get food and medicine for the families back in venezuela so most people would actually get into the country and then get back into it as well and there's a special permission special pass if you will for those venezuelans living in

border towns to get into colombian territory and to be in the province that is the border province to venezuela without any special requirements that is one of the efforts that the colombian afore authorities have taken in order to ensure that there is regular process and a registered process for people crossing the border however of course there is a big influx of migrants there are trying to make a living here in colombia and to leave venezuela for good as well. just briefly if you can colombia has been taking and thousands of venezuelan refugees how's the country coping. well it is struggling for sure for every migrant there is about $300.00 of vailable in the budget for this crisis compare that to about $5000.00 that exist for syrian refugees so colombia needs international support in order to tackle this financially to vehicle i get out of a bath in go at that thank you very much. to sudan now where the military has used
