Description
In the desert of the northern Mexican state of Chihuahua, near the US border, migrants walk under the sun and what 24-year-old Venezuelan Bilmari Karin describes as "suffocating heat," hoping for a better future. "It's too hot," says another migrant. "We're already a little dehydrated when we get here, but it's too much heat."
As Mexican civil protection officials find the body of a migrant who died after being abandoned by their smugglers in Chihuahua, which is on alert due to high temperatures, Mexico has recorded 155 heat-related deaths since March, and authorities are urging migrants not to attempt to cross the desert to the United States.
