A young pregnant Cuban migrant died in the state of Chihuahuanorth, Mexico, during their attempt to cross the border into the United States.
The Cuban woman, whose identity and age have not been released, was 12 weeks pregnant and died “due to anemia aggravated by malnutrition, as reported by the Mexican press of the Secretary General of the Government, Santiago de la Peña, citing as a source a report from the State Health Secretariat.
De La Peña said that the migrants arrived in the state in deplorable conditions.
“We will have an orderly migration that guarantees these people that, in exercising their right to move, they can do so in a safe, healthy, and orderly manner. and we will also protect the rights of our fellow citizens, especially the population of Ciudad Juárez,” said Santiago de La Pena.
He emphasized that the northern states of the country, and especially Chihuahua, are on the verge of collapse due to the number of people who keep coming into the state.
Santiago de la Peña stated that the situation has led to a humanitarian, health, and even security crisis and cited as an example the integration of some migrants into criminal organizations.
Images released in recent days show how many migrants, including children and women, are risking their lives in Chihuahua while walking along the train tracks. to force the Ferromex trains to stop, and thus seize the opportunity to board and reach the border of the United States.
In another incident this week, hundreds of migrants tried to cross to the United States from Ciudad Juárez, also in Chihuahua, under the watchful eyes of several security elements who were powerless to prevent it.
The death of the young pregnant Cuban migrant, whose death has not yet revealed any other details, has added to the regret of the deaths of another 10 women on the island. One of them was a minor, who died this week in a tragic traffic accident in the state of Chiapas while trying to reach the southern border of the United States.
