Colombian undertaker offers free burials to Venezuelan migrants
Sonia Bermudez is a retired forensic doctor with a lifelong mission – caring for Venezuelans dying destitute in an area of northern Colombia and saving them from a communal grave.
Political and economic turmoil has forced more than three million Venezuelans to look for a better life abroad.
A million of them moved to neighbouring Colombia and for some, it has been their final journey.
Al Jazeera met a retired Colombian forensic doctor who is ensuring a dignified burial to Venezuelans dying destitute away from home.
Al Jazeera’s Alessandro Rampietti reports from Riohacha, Colombia.
