📢 Hey fam! Colombia just moved its troops to the Venezuelan border in Cúcuta after the U.S. carried out strikes in Venezuela earlier this week. The move is all about gearing up for what President Gustavo Petro called a potential "massive influx" of refugees. 🌎✈️
A CGTN stringer on the ground in Cúcuta reports lines of vehicles and families starting to form as authorities tighten security measures. 🚧👮♂️
With thousands possibly on the move, local communities and aid groups are bracing for impact. Cúcuta, a busy trade hub, could see a surge in arrivals, pushing resources like shelters, food, and medical aid to their limits. 🏥🍲
For now, soldiers are setting up checkpoints and humanitarian teams are on standby. It’s a reminder of how fast things can shift in our interconnected world—whether you’re sipping kopi in Jakarta or scrolling TikTok in Dhaka. Stay tuned as we keep an eye on this developing story! 👀
