if you are EU citizen then stay in touch with other EU citizens to see if their embassies organise something

Otherwise try to reach aruba by sea but it probably won't be in a legal way . I won't recommend you to fo to colombia by yourself as a "refugee" , so you are out of options , cause the closest big airport , SJO is also closed for international traffic as far as i know
