The International Organization for Migration (IOM) through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) has been providing support for the hundreds of Venezuelans migrants camped out at several indigenous communities in Region One. However, a decision has been made to now close the border to all migrants.
This disclosure was made by Region One Chairman Brentnol Ashley on Thursday.
He had previously told Stabroek News that the region does not have the financial resources at this stage to provide aid to influx of Venezuelans that arrived in the community back in January.
