At least three Honduran migrants died and four were missing
on Monday after a people-smuggling boat capsized in eastern Mexico, authorities
said.
Several others survived the accident in Agua Dulce in
Veracruz State, where the Tonala River flows into the Gulf of Mexico, according
to an official.
"They retrieved three bodies. The four survivors report
that there are four missing," Agua Dulce civil protection chief David
Esparza Diaz told AFP.
Many thousands of migrants cross Mexico each year on a
journey during which they face multiple dangers, including road accidents,
drowning and crime.
The National Migration Institute said Monday that a
36-year-old Salvadoran and his seven-year-old son had died last week while
crossing a river between Mexico and Guatemala.
On Saturday, four migrants died and another 16 were injured
in a road accident in the southeastern state of Chiapas, authorities said.
