A disturbing week along the U.S.-Mexico border saw the recovery of 13 migrant bodies, highlighting the human toll of the global crisis. Border Patrol agents also rescued 226 migrants suffering from heat-related injuries, as scorching temperatures continue to grip the region. The relentless heatwave has made the border the deadliest land border in the world, according to the United Nations. Dehydration remains the leading cause of rescues and fatalities. The death toll may be even higher, as it does not account for bodies found by other law enforcement agencies. Tragic incidents, including drownings in the Rio Grande, serve as a reminder of the dangers faced by migrants attempting to cross the border. The escalating number of deaths demands urgent international attention.
