Some of the thousands of migrants stranded for weeks near Colombia's border with Panama are beginning their treacherous journey north.
They have been waiting for weeks to be allowed to cross the Gulf of Uraba, and now it is finally happening.
Thousands of migrants were allowed to travel to the town of Acandi, Colombia, where the trek towards the Darien gap - a dense jungle on the border between Colombia and Panama - begins.
Many, including women with small children, hope to eventually reach the United States.
