Countries in the Americas are reeling as the flow of migrants reaches historic levels, but a U.N. officials says international “funds simply aren’t there” for humanitarian needs.
Migrants travel on a freight train, arriving in Ciudad Juarez, Mexico, Thursday, Sept. 28, 2023. – Countries in the Americas are reeling as the flow of migrants reaches historic levels, but international “funds simply aren’t there” for humanitarian needs, a United Nations official said.
“Obviously, it’s not an issue that can be solved by any one country,” she said. “The unprecedented flows in the region require attention — international attention.” “We all know that there is a migration crisis throughout the entire American continent. We are fundamentally a country of passage for migrants, people who come, who pass through Costa Rica largely trying to reach the United States,” Chaves said.
In September, a U.N. report said that $400 million was required to address the Venezuelan migration, but that the international body had received only a third of that. Analysts and Daniels note the international response has been defined by largely short-term patchwork measures. Daniels said governments really need to address the root causes of migration, such as poverty, corruption, crime and political repression.
