Bogotá, Jul 2 (EFE).- At least 500 Venezuelan citizens began their journey back to their country on Thursady in buses provided by the Mayor's office after being stuck for over five weeks due to the coronavirus lockdown in Bogota, where they had to live in tents at improvised camp near a highway in the north of the capital.

Dozens of migrants queue at Spain's Ceuta border to return to Morocco after an unprecedented 8,000 people crossed into the Spanish enclave earlier this week. Most of the arrivals are young men and teenagers, who swam to the beaches of Ceuta to find work and escape the grinding poverty, unemployment and hunger back home in Morocco which has been worsened by the Covid pandemic.

Images released by Polish Police show the area along the border with Belarus close to the border town of Kuznica which has been entirely cleared of migrant encampments. Some 2,000 migrants who were living in freezing conditions at the border have been moved to a nearby warehouse. The West accuses Belarus of artificially creating the crisis by bringing in would-be migrants, mostly from the Middle East, and taking them to the border with promises of an easy crossing into the EU. Belarus has denied the claim, instead criticising the EU for not taking in the migrants. IMAGES
