Description
A Mayan woman sits inside a shelter in the refugee camp of Chajul, Chiapas. A child sits next to her. Refugees in the camps had no resources to deal with illness such as tubercolosis, dengue, malaria or malnutrition. In May 1984 refugees from the Chajul settlement fled and hid in the Lacandón jungle when Mexican newspapers headlined that the Minister of the Interior, Manuel Bartlett Díaz, decided to relocate the approximately 46,000 Guatemalans from Chiapas to Campechgle. Una mujer maya se sienta dentro de un refugio en el campamento de refugiados de Chajul, Chiapas. Un niño se sienta a su lado. En los campamentos, los refugiados no tenían recursos para hacer frente a enfermedades como la tuberculosis, el dengue, la malaria y la desnutrición. Cuando en mayo de 1984, los periódicos mexicanos reportaban que el secretario de gobernación, Manuel Bartlett Díaz, decidió reubicar a los aproximadamente 46,000 guatemaltecos de Chiapas a Campeche, los refugiados del asentamiento de Chajul huyeron y se escondieron en la Selva Lacandona.
