Migration through Darien Gap increased in September, led by Venezuelans after the election

The number of migrants crossing the Darien Gap increased sharply in September, according to Panamanian government data, and a human rights organization says there’s less capacity to assist migrants.

As of Oct. 7, the number of migrants who had crossed through the Darien this year was 277,939 or 36% less than the same period in 2023, according to the Panamanian Ministry of Security. However, the same data showed a sharp increase in September compared to August.
