Over the past few years, well more than a million Venezuelans have fled to Colombia, their western neighbor, and another 3 million or so have left for other countries in the Americas and beyond. <\/p>\r\n          \r\n  <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/spweb-uploads.s3.theark.cloud\/2019\/04\/1926CO-A-487.jpg\">\r\n\r\n<p><strong>UPDATE: <\/strong>Now, since Colombia received its first confirmed case of COVID-19 in March 2020, Samaritan\u2019s Purse has adjusted programs to respond directly to the coronavirus and new needs that have arisen. Our existing health program has continued to provide outpatient consultation for Venezuelans who are not enrolled in the local health system. We have also expanded to provide COVID screening, contact tracing, and training on health and hygiene precautions. In addition, our food assistance team is distributing staples to vulnerable Colombian and displaced Venezuelan families who cannot afford these necessary supplies during mandatory isolation. <\/p>   \r\n\r\n<p>Due to current restrictions in light of this pandemic, we have adapted our migrant shelter program for the moment. At our La Donjuana station, outside Cucuta, we can no longer house people overnight, but we are providing day services for migrants including hand washing stations and route information. Our Berlin shelter has been closed indefinitely. Samaritan's Purse remains prepared to adapt as needs continue to change in this crisis.<\/p>\r\n      \r\n        <!--<p>We have two relief stations, or shelters, along the migrant route from the border town of Cucuta to points south in Colombia, which includes Bogota and beyond. At the La Donjuana and Berlin shelters, thousands of migrants have received hot meals, a safe place to stay for the night, and hygiene kits. Some also receive backpacks to help carry their belongings as they face days and sometimes weeks of walking ahead\u2014a few look to Peru, Ecuador, or Chile as their final destination. In Bucaramanga, we have also established a food distribution point along the caminantes trail. <\/p>-->\r\n\r\n        <!--<p>Samaritan\u2019s Purse also provides medical services to Venezuelan migrants in La Guajira and Norte de Santander. Scores of patients come each day, many women with young children, to be seen free of charge. For many, it\u2019s the only care option available.<\/p>-->\r\n        \r\n        <!--<div class=\"map-container\">\r\n            <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/sp-comm-arkfiles.s3.theark.cloud\/website\/images\/mw\/Map_Live_Edge-2.svg\" class=\"map\">\r\n            <div class=\"map-info\">\r\n                \r\n                <ul>\r\n                    <li><span><strong>2019<\/strong> Beneficiaries<\/span><\/li>\r\n                    <li>\r\n                        <strong>Medical Program<\/strong><br>\r\n                        23,000+\r\n                    <\/li>\r\n                    <li>\r\n                        <strong>Center of Hope<\/strong><br>\r\n                        127,000+\r\n                    <\/li>\r\n                    <li>\r\n                        <strong>Shelters<\/strong><br>\r\n                        46,000+\r\n                    <\/li>\r\n                <\/ul>\r\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div>-->\r\n\r\n        <!--<p>In addition, Samaritan\u2019s Purse works in partnership with a local church in Cucuta, to operate the Center of Hope.
