WASHINGTON (Reuters) - US immigrants from Caracan, which is hoping to settle in the United States, have resumed its hard-line journey to the border,

According to local media such as Millennio TV, the caravan made a long "human belt" at Fihihan Temple in Chiapas, southern Mexico, and headed for Ariagha, 101 km north.

Some immigrants with young children plan to travel freely in passing cars or use public transportation such as buses, considering the distance traveled.

However, the local police are blocking the buses and taxis because they are not covered by highway insurance.

I would like to walk as many streets as possible and induce them to give up the procession.

Many are complaining of colds, exhaustion, and foot injuries.

The cough does not stop here and there.

Physicians and nurses who volunteered for volunteering first delivered medical care after blushing, dehydration, and so on.

Like the local residents of the caravan, the people of Pihihyapan came to the square the day before and handed out clothes, sandwiches, and basic medicines.

The doctor, Hasus Mirabete, handled more than 120 immigrants.

Many were burned as they moved sandals on high-heat asphalt.

"Many people say to me, 'I can not rest, I have to go on,'" he said. "It's really hard," he said to the Associated Press, "I am overwhelmed by the number of children who show signs of dehydration."

The size of the caravan is gradually decreasing.

The International Monetary Fund (IOM) reports that the United Nations has estimated 7,200 people, but today it has dropped to about 4,000.

On November 25, 1,743 of the caravans filed for asylum in the Mexican government.

Earlier, some Mexican media reported that there were three caravan parades and a total of 14,000 people.

The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) estimated that the caravan included 2,300 children who needed essential health services and care, including clean water and adequate hygiene.

As the caravan continues northward, the US is also raising the level.

US President Donald Trump rejected the right to apply for asylum in the caravan and plans to close the border with them, according to the Washington Post.

It also decided to place up to 1,000 active soldiers in the southern Mexico border zone against the caravan.

"I have been surprised at the comments of President Trump," said Kandy Guillermo, 37, a mother of four children who had heard this from other immigrants, in an interview with The Associated Press.

"We want to give children a better future," he added.

Caravans refer to immigrants who travel to the United States on foot or by car, leaving their home country for violence, drug trafficking and poverty in some of the most murderous Honduras, including Guatemala and El Salvador.

They move in groups to secure safety from traffickers or gangs while on the move.

Another reason for the caravan formation is that it is too costly to pay $ 100,000 to the smugglers who let the poor immigrants cross the border.

The caravan, which aims to be recognized as a refugee or refugee status in Mexico and the United States, departed San Pedro Sulaci, Honduras, on the 12th of the last 160 days.

Caravans arrive at Arriaga this afternoon, and 1,553 kilometers still remain to McCallon, Texas, the shortest distance in the United States.

It takes 312 hours to walk without sleep and rest.
