People don’t go there to visit Mickey Mouse, they go because they have to meet their needs, which is why we have to address the structural cause of migration"."It has to be done structurally, we cannot continue the current rhythm with aid that has not served much use, that in the end does not reach the community, does not make them more productive, does not give them access to the markets".
Guatemala City, Apr 15 (EFE), (Camera: ESteban Biba) .- Central American children who migrate to the United States are "skin and bone" with high rates of malnutrition, warns the director of the Casa del Migrante in Guatemala City, the priest and Brazilian missionary Mauro Verzeletti.Translation: Malnutrition rates in Central America are extremely high. Here we have a doctor who does the entire reception protocol for people migrating, children have high rates of malnutrition. We are talking about children who are skin and bones, who are migrating in this condition. And this is terrible for the development of a child, a teenager who has nothing to eat in their own home. This context worsens directly because they do not have money to pay rent or to eat and we are having a large number of people mobilizing on the street. The new homeless people are going to be migrants.
