When violence & persecution is your daily reality, fleeing becomes a matter of survival. Thousands from NCA have made this choice. 353,000 sought safety abroad & 245,000 are internally displaced in El Salvador & Honduras Their protection is paramount to @refugees ? @TitoHerrera https://t.co/Fqx3n91yzR
