Migrants from various Latin American countries join the ‘Dios con Nosotros’ (God With Us) caravan in Tapachula, Chiapas, Mexico, to travel north towards the US.

The group, estimated by a Chiapas state government source to number about 1,500 people including many families, set off on Tuesday from the city of Tapachula near the Guatemala border. With possessions in backpacks, parents carried small children in their arms, in strollers or on their shoulders.
