Number of Migrants Dying in New Mexico Increases Tenfold
--------------------------------------------------------

The number of migrants dying in New Mexico near the U.S.-Mexico border
has increased tenfold over the past five years. Over 220 bodies have
been found since January 2023. Many of the victims are believed to have
died from dehydration and malnutrition as they attempted to cross
scorching hot desert or mountain areas to seek refuge in the United
States.
