Some fled unthinkable violence, fearing for their lives & those of their families every day, narrowly surviving brutal attacks & daily threats. With the help of local organisations & UNHCR, they set up small businesses, like this man who aims to make "the best hamburger." https://t.co/uPgRSZofNX

In #Guatemala, I met brave women and men who'd fled violence, persecution and discrimination in their countries, bringing their talents and hopes with them. They've started the next chapter of their lives here with hope for peace and safety. https://t.co/ARS1FjBlfb

People forced to flee are forced to cross the #Darien. Many of those who reach safety in Panama 🇵🇦 survive robbery or sexual assault, are extremely dehydrated and weak, haven’t slept or eaten properly in days or weeks. Their future is still unclear but for now they are safe. https://t.co/J5bTIiBNJL

And how must it feel to be able to finally breathe easy and rest - even if only for a day or two - knowing you and your loved ones are safe? https://t.co/iWBeanfsZI

How dire would it have to be for you to risk your life and those of your teenage daughter, son and baby through dense jungle full of venomous snakes, raging rivers, and bands of criminals robbing and raping the desperate people forced to flee through the #Darien? https://t.co/aoWPgd6Kzq

I spoke with some of those who had just survived crossing the #DarienGap, one of the most treacherous places on earth - both because of the natural and criminal dangers. Over 1300 had arrived the night before I met them, among them families with small children and infants. https://t.co/Pvj06hPnLd

What is happening in Central America is equivalent to displacement, conflict, and human rights crises anywhere on earth. Thousands are forced to flee every day, escaping the same brutal violence, persecution, and insecurity as in #Afghanistan, #Ethiopia, #Syria and #Ukraine https://t.co/3MDuDfkSKt

Aprecié el tiempo que pasé a @CasaRefugiados, que es un modelo de cómo apoyar solidaridad para las personas desplazadas y las comunidades que los reciben. Gracias por compartir todas sus historias, pensamientos y esperanzas conmigo. #ConLasPersonasRefugiadas https://t.co/NF4LMsQTPZ
