A Venezuelan migrant and her son rest at a temporary shelter after crossing the Darien jungle on their way to the United States, in Los Planes de Gualaca, Panama, 11 May 2023. While thousands of migrants continue their journey to the United States in dozens of buses from a shelter in northern Panama, a few others decided to go the other way to return to their countries claiming they are “fed up with continuous abuse” and taking advantage of the United Nations International Organization for Migration (IOM) voluntary return program.
