In the caravan of immigrants, which is located about 80 kilometers from Tapachula, travel about 400 children who need humanitarian aid such as water and food, according to the organizations.
Lorenza Obdulia, director of the shelter ‘Todo por ellos’, in coordination with the CDH Human Dignity Center, brought food for women and children who are trying to cross Mexican territory and reach the United States.
Luis Rey García Villagrán, director of the Human Dignity Center, said that in the group of people there are many children and women who have to walk more than 15 kilometers daily and are exposed to dangerous situations.
“We brought nothing but bread, bread, some balls, and there were people of good heart who cooperated with us to bring them a bread especially for children, there are more than 400 children, already confirmed, are telling us the comrades who go to the front very hungry with a lot of load,” said García.
Junior Pacheco, a migrant from Guatemala, said that there are about 5,790 people without papers who are moving in this caravan under precarious conditions, so a lot of food is required.
As the economic and social crisis in Latin and Central American countries has been worsening, the situation of irregular migrants in Mexico is steadily allowing the increase of cases of kidnapping and human trafficking of these migrants and undocumented.
