The internet is filled with things. Here is one of them.
Darién Gap2024 Nov 11
Speaking of dying in Panama, the Darién Gap – that inhospitable, entirely undeveloped stretch of dense tropical rainforest-covered mountains outside the reach of civilization that separate Central America from South – had a record 520,000 people cross through it last year, more than double 2022 numbers and up from only 24,000 in 2019. The reasons for this are many, but two large ones are the 7 million people fleeing Venezuela and those, oddly, fleeing China. Them, plus others seeking refuge in North America, are forced through this lawless region where all the horrific things you expect to happen in a lawless place are taking place.
