On this occasion, two Venezuelans and a Haitian ventured into the journey, facing not only the current of the river but also the dense vegetation and mud in their path.
Despair in the middle of the water
The shocking video shows the dramatic moment when migrants, including children, try to cross the Rio Grande.
One of the victims’ relatives said: “He was asking for help, help. Then the other friends, who were on the other side, were also asking for help, but no, at that moment there was no one to help them, everything was in Water”.
Despair and lack of assistance marked this tragedy.
Despite the migrants’ struggle to reach the shore, the two victims began to submerge little by little, until they were completely covered by water and mud. The Texas National Guard responded to the call for help, but unfortunately, upon arriving at the scene, the two men had already lost their lives in the difficult conditions of the Rio Grande.
