Venezuelans are fleeing their country in order to find food and medicines no longer available to them at home, as seen in this footage released by the World Food Programme on September 24.

The UN said in August that nearly half a million people fled to Ecuador in 2018 alone.

This footage, taken near the Colombian border with Venezuela between September 18 and September 22, shows people walking over mountains, through towns and across bridges and rivers. One of the migrants in the video says that she is fleeing Venezuela with her two-year-old daughter because they had no food or medicine. Children are dying, the woman says.
