A bridge between Colombia and Venezuela has reopened after being closed for several years because of a political disagreement between the neighbours.
Colombia is a key destination for some 1.8 million Venezuelan migrants fleeing poverty and economic collapse in their country.
Venezuelans will now be able to cross and find goods they cannot buy at home.
Al Jazeera’s Alessandro Rampietti reports from the border town of Cucuta, Colombia.
