💨 Abstract

In 2024, Panama saw a 42% decrease in migrants crossing the Darien Gap compared to 2023, with 302,203 migrants crossing. The majority were Venezuelans fleeing economic collapse. Panamanian President Jose Raul Mulino has implemented stricter migration policies, including deploying barbed wire and using US-funded flights for deportations.
