Mexico-US: The Search for Lost Migrants
'Aguilas del Desierto' is a group of volunteers who search and rescue stranded migrants crossing the desert in the Mexico-US border, known as one of the most dangerous land-crossings in the world.
In the Sonoran Desert, between Arizona and California, hundreds of migrants crossing from Mexico into the United States lose their way and die, mostly from dehydration, under the 50 degree temperatures of the hottest desert in North America. This border region is the most dangerous land-crossing in the world, according to the International Organisation for Migration (IOM).
