Guatemala – Flow Monitoring Report 11 (1 - 30 April 2024)

In April 2024, 21,339 movements were observed in Guatemala (16% children) and 394 individuals were surveyed.1 The number of observed movements decreased by five per cent from February2 2024 (22,402). This is a result of the increase in patrols along the Mexico–Guatemala border as well as increased insecurity in some parts of Guatemala, pushing migrants to use alternative routes.More than half of movements originated from the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela (72%). The main intended destination was the United States of America (91%). Since 2022, migratory flows through the Latin America and Caribbean region have increased significantly, with record levels of persons crossing the perilous jungle of the Darién National Park from Colombia into Panama. The in-transit flows tracked in Guatemala have mirrored these regional migration trends.
