Since the collapse of the Venezuelan economy, more than half a million Venezuelans have been migrating into neighboring Colombia. The result of this mass migration has affected people from both nations, including a unique group of individuals known as the Yukpa. The indigenous Yukpa are a group of roughly 150 people who fled their ancestral land in Venezuela and settled near the border in Cucuta, Colombia. A large group of the Yukpa are currently residing underneath a bridge where access to Colombia has since been cut-off. The lack of food and access to proper medicine and shelter has created a potential humanitarian crisis. With this, children have been dying due to starvation or having not recovered after falling ill. The only option for the Yukpa group is to stay and wait to be granted access into Colombia, as they are unwilling to return to Venezuela. Another issue is the fact that a lot of the indigenous people and groups to areas around the Colombian-Venezuelan border to not have identification papers that would prove that they hold bi-nationalities to both countries. This is a problem when trying to enter into Colombia because these indigenous people cannot prove who they really are or where they come from. It is being argued that the indigenous people have the right to enter Colombia because they have historically lived in communities on the Colombian-Venezuelan border. For now, it is up to the Colombian government to allow them in, or at least issue the Yukpa aid in order to prevent the escalating humanitarian crisis.
