The Threat of Tainted Cancer Drugs, Bloomberg Business.
“Hospitals around the world use drugs from a small but crucial Indian supplier. In Colombia four kids died and more than a hundred fell ill. In a months-long investigation, Bloomberg Businessweek found that, despite a track record of safety lapses and quality concerns, the manufacturer continued selling its drugs.”

In December 2022, JR and his team continued his Déplacé.e.s project in Las Delicias, a community by the Venezuelan border near Cúcuta. Having previously highlighted the struggles faced by refugee children in Ukraine, Rwanda, and Mauritania, JR organized the fourth installation in Las Delicias, a neighborhood primarily made up of Colombians who have been internally displaced and Venezuelans who have fled their homeland.
With the help of the community, JR unfurled a portrait of six-year-old Venezuelan refugee Andiara, who crossed the border with her family in 2019. With over 200 children and adults holding her image, the community marched from the basketball court to the soccer field in their neighborhood. The procession lasted over an hour and concluded with a picnic around the eyes of four-year-old Santiago.
