Description
A Mayan woman with a baby girl on her back collects water from a river near the refugee camp of Cuauhtémoc, Chiapas. In the days following the Guatemalan attack at the nearby refugee camp of El Chupadero on April 30, 1984, one of the most violent assaults of this kind that left seven refugees dead, refugees from the camp of Cuauhtémoc fled their settlement to avoid the same fate.
