Venezuelan Migrants Stranded and Suffering at Peru-Chile Border

Hundreds of Venezuelan migrants are stranded at the border between Chile and Peru, facing harsh conditions as Peru continues to refuse them entry due to lack of documents.
Peru has sent 700 soldiers and police to reinforce its southern border with Chile to prevent undocumented migrants from entering the country.
The Peruvian government declared a state of emergency on its borders this week to tighten immigration controls and facilitate the expulsion of foreigners without proper paperwork.
There are an estimated 1.5 million Venezuelans living in Peru, most of whom entered with a temporary residence permit since 2017.
Amnesty International has urged Peru and Chile to end the militarization of their shared border.
