Migrants wait in line for food in a migrant refuge near the railway line in Apizaco, Mexico. The refuge is run by lay people and supported mainly by church groups. Migrants often arrive in exhausted, dehydrated, hungry and in need of medical attention. This point on the migrant journey from Honduras takes about a month to reach, including about two weeks walking in southern Mexico, then long and dangerous train rides on the rail network known as La Bestia. The refuge allows migrants to stay up to 48 hours.
