In colombia the crisis has created more problems for those in need of migrants from venezuela are now at a crossroads many of them are returning to their homeland a country with even worse living conditions. What looks like a family stroll is really the beginning of an odyssey carrying the few possessions they hold dear and some wearing only flip flops on their feet these venezuelans are on their way home. They came to colombia seeking a better life but ever since the coronavirus forced the country into lockdown it has become increasingly difficult for venezuelan migrants to make ends meet. My husband lost his job when he was laid off and we lost our home and thats why we decided to return the minute. I want to leave but i also want to stay at the current team is hard even for colombians theres no work how are we supposed to pay our rent are we supposed to buy food. For the body guard for me because i left everything behind in venezuela to start over in colombia now i have to leave it all behind again to start a new over there i dont know what to expect well see how it goes. On their way out of the returnees receive care packages provided by the United Nations refugee agency. Nobody knows when theyll get their next meal with the country under quarantine the unofficial pit stops along the way have shut down its a dangerous trip there are embarking on for hundreds of kilometers theyll have to navigate adverse weather conditions and armed groups controlling rural areas worried about their well being Aid Organizations try to convince the migrants to stay get in there and go to dinner when they cross the border with venezuela will have to quarantine thats another challenge in venezuela the conditions for placing a large amount of people under lockdown that arent ideal. But. Thats why the u. N. Hage c. R. And other agencies in ordination with the colombian government are discouraging returns.

Up with a little money they had spent on food helen and her family couldnt pay this months rent unable to work during the lockdown they risk being kicked out by their landlord desperate helen stepfather pleas for solidarity libby ive already had a lawyer chordal nick i beg you the colombian government to help us out with the rent payments and thats why they could assist us. Because were human beings were not animals. But many of their fellow venezuelans have already lost faith in the authorities coming to the rescue tired of being treated like 2nd class citizens during the pandemic they have to cited to leave returning to venezuela with a political crisis still underway may not have been what they planned but if they make it at least theyll be at home. 2 and now we turn to egypt in 4 districts in cairo a student dresses up like a clown to explain the dangers of corona to children since young people often know nothing about the virus. A few last practiced moves before slipping into character transitioning from engineering student to clown has become 2nd nature for ahmed nazar. For 5 years now the 22 year old has been performing as a mine at events as a side gig to bolster his studies but the corona crisis put into that now often it has found a new angle hes taking his act to cairos poorest neighborhoods to educate children about the virus. And its our duty to educate kids because they dont really have access to information while they watch cartoons on t. V. Theyre not that interested in whats going on in the world. Op ed is setting off to cairos city of the dead its a good hours drive away but since the universities are closed hes got plenty of time on his hands the corona crisis hasnt visibly impacted cairos traffic packed mini buses as millions of people commute to work through busy streets they all need money to survive while egypts official infection rates are quite low so are the rates of testing the actual number of infections could be much higher many here simply hope they wont be infected especially kids. I sense that i can change the awareness and behavior of the kids that makes me happy. Some 1500000 people live in cairo city of the dead a large portion of them below the poverty line and many of these poor children dont yet know about social distancing hygiene and masks. Its these kids said osmond wants to help he talks to them and gives them tips keep your distance or even better stay home wash your hands wear masks if possible at all times conventional wisdom but many here are hearing it for the 1st time. This. Kind of fact i liked what he said ill try to do what he said. Ok. Yes im scared. Were not allowed to touch each other anymore you know what if we touch someone with corona our whole family could get infected anyway. A few final relaxing pantomime practice exercises. And doesnt want to leave the kids worried or in panic. It might seem like a lot of effort for just 15 kids but often hopes they will pass on what theyve learned to others in the community.
