EN-People don't know this about migrants-Migration at US border

Dr. Belen Ramirez speaking from the US-Mexico border in Arizona. Currently, the only way for thousands of people stranded in Mexico to apply for asylum in the US is by making an appointment with US immigration officials through a mobile app known as CBP One. But migrants say the app is unreliable and confusing, and few appointments are available. MSF is supporting Tucson-based nonprofit groups that are bringing humanitarian aid to migrants and asylum seekers crossing the US-Mexico border near the Sonoran Desert.

Additional Information / Shotlist Most people trying to seek asylum at the US southern border must request an appointment using a mobile app known as CBP One. The app has been riddled with problems and delays, leaving people stranded and waiting for appointments for months in dangerous border cities in Mexico. For some, the risk of staying in Mexico is too high and they decide to walk north across the Arizona desert.

In August 2024, MSF is resuming its work in support of Tucson-based nonprofit groups that are bringing humanitarian aid to migrants and asylum seekers crossing the US-Mexico border near the Sonoran Desert. The video was taken earlier this year, when a small MSF team worked alongside Humane Borders, Samaritans, No More Deaths, and other local nonprofit groups to assess the medical needs in the region and suggest ways to build capacity for increased services and collaborations.
