Description
Two Mayan women; one carrying a baby girl on her back, collect and carry water from the river to the refugee camp of Cuauhtémoc, Chiapas. On April 30, 1984, in one of the most violent assault of its kind, Guatemalans attacked El Chupaderoone, a nearby refugee camp. The attacks left seven refugees dead. In the days following, refugees from the camp of Cuauhtémoc fled their settlement to avoid the same fate. Dos mujeres mayas, una cargando a una niña en la espalda, recogen agua del río para el campamento de refugiados de Cuauhtémoc, Chiapas. En los días posteriores al ataque guatemalteco en el campamento de refugiados cercano de El Chupadero el 30 de abril de 1984, uno de los asaltos más violentos de este tipo que dejaron a siete refugiados muertos, los refugiados del campamento de Cuauhtémoc huyeron de su asentamiento para evitar el mismo destino.
