Hello, my name is Marta.

I am a social worker with Doctors Without Borders.

Here behind me is our mobile clinic

where we treat migrants every day, medically and psychologically,

who pass through Coatzacoalcos.

We are here by the railway tracks and in the background, we can see the train,



that people take every day to start their journey to the north of the country.



For the last two years or so, this has been the starting point of the journey north with the train, the so-called "Beast".



Ittales people about one to two weeks on foot to get from the border with Guatemala to here in Coatzacoalcos.



We come here every day

and offer people to come and use our services.



We describe each consultation and invite them to come to our mobile clinic.

Every day, thousands of people along the migration route experience terrible violence:
We are there for them.
