  • Thousands of people are stuck at an informal camp of asylum seekers at El Chaparral, Tijuana, Mexico, many of them have been waiting for their petition for asylum to be heard for months. Most of the people at the camp are from Central America and Haiti, the majority from Honduras, but many are also fleeing violence in Guerrero and Michoacan in Mexico. For many the journey to get here was extremely hazardous, crossing Mexico on the top of La Bestia, the train also known as El Tren de la Muerte. Many have been kidnapped and extorted by organised crime groups, and the dangers in the unpoliced camp are also very high, particularly for girls and women.
