The resident representative of UNHCR in Ecuador, Giovanni Bassu, warned that Venezuelan migration flows have become more complex, and that 300 million dollars are required to attend, in 2023 alone, the humanitarian and integration needs of more than half million Venezuelans in Ecuadorian territory.

Bassu explained to EFE that the Venezuelan population on the move continues to move south, in the direction of Peru and Chile, but there are also internal transfers in Ecuador, in search of opportunities, income from Peru due to the crisis that country is going through, and also exits from Ecuador to Colombia.

Those who go to Colombia go in most cases to return to Venezuela, but "they are pendular movements, people who go for a few weeks or a month to carry out an administrative procedure or to visit the family and then return, or for a document to then move on to the United States,” Bassu said.
