Kaoly Becerra, a 40-year-old Venezuelan migrant, hugs her 8-year-old daughter, Ambar Castillo, in the town of Bajo Chiquito, Panama, 13 October 2022. Bajo Chiquito is the first Panamanian town where irregular migrants arrive after crossing the Darién Gap, the dangerous border that divides Panama and Colombia. The Darién jungle is considered one of the most dangerous migratory routes in the world, both because of its wild environment and because of the presence of armed groups and organized crime that have used it for decades to illegally traffic drugs, weapons and people.
