1 Venezuelan Migration and Refugee Crisis: Situation Report, December 2020 1 (2020)

handle is hein.oas/fjksbg0001 and id is 1 raw text is: • The Covid-19 pandemic worsened the Venezuelan refugee crisis in 2020. The number of Venezuelans fleeing decelerated due to border closures and mandatory lockdowns, but these measures increased the difficulties faced by Venezuelan migrants and refugees and, therefore, the challenges of assistance, protection, and integration. • Venezuelans continue to flee through irregular paths and their vulnerability is increasingly critical when arriving in host countries due to the deepening crisis in Venezuela. • The remains of 33 Venezuelan migrants, including minors, have been found on the maritime border between Venezuela and Trinidad and Tobago. • If the borders are reopened in the first quarter of next year and Venezuela's illegitimate regime remains in power, there could be as many as 7 million Venezuelan migrants and refugees by 2021.
