The Bus That Never Arrives: Migrants Stranded in the Streets of Lima Taken by the Pandemic (Spanish)

Some streets of La Victoria have become camps for displaced people seeking to return to their regions. The drama of Covid-19 forced migration continues and escalates hourly. At the time of this registration, some had been out in the open for weeks, while very few managed to leave. Right in the middle of Labor Day, many will leave because they lost everything they had here.
