“I don't understand why they make it so difficult for us. All we are looking for is a better life,” says Barbara, a mother from Venezuela whose family took a dangerous path across the border between Nicaragua and Honduras.
Barbara’s family is one of thousands who have traveled the most dangerous migration route in the world through Central America toward the United States. It’s a sometimes deadly journey, but families take the risk to escape violence, extreme poverty, and more. Along this route, Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) teams provide essential medical care and mental health services.
Our teams have heard stories from people who have endured incredible hardships along the migration route, and we’ve provided vital medical and mental health care for people who have survived torture, sexual violence, inhumane treatment, and more.
Your generosity ensures that our teams can respond along the migration route in Central America and Mexico:
From January to June of this year, MSF teams provided more than 54,000 general health consultations, 5,500 individual mental health consultations, and 5,000 social work orientations along the migration route spanning Panama and Mexico.
MSF also treated 669 people who had made the notoriously dangerous crossing through the Darién Gap between Colombia and Panama. In that time, we also carried out 499 prenatal consultations.
Between January and April of this year alone, MSF staff in Mexico treated 2,378 migrant children under the age of five. Our teams witness the physical and psychological impact of migration on children, particularly on those under five years old, who make up a large portion of MSF consultations.
