\n A bus crash in the Mexican state of Oaxaca killed 16 people on Friday, according to local authorities, who say most of the passengers were migrants<\/a>.\n <\/p>\n

\n Three children and two women are among the victims, all of whom are from Venezuela<\/a> and Haiti, the Oaxaca state attorney general said. At least 27 people were injured and transported to nearby hospitals.\n <\/p>\n

\n Pictures posted by authorities on Facebook show the large bus flipped over and heavily damaged on a curve of the mountainous Oaxaca-Cuacnopalan highway.\n <\/p>\n

\n Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, which took place at 5 a.m. local time (7 a.m. ET). <\/strong>The Oaxaca state attorney general\u2019s office had first said 18 people died in the crash, then revised its count late on Friday evening.\n <\/p>\n

\n The tragedy follows the deaths of at least 10 Cuban migrants, including a child, on Sunday, when the truck they were traveling in also overturned in southern Mexico, according to local authorities.\n <\/p>\n

\n Venezuela and Haiti are sources of large numbers of migrants traveling northward, fleeing insecurity and economic crisis at home.\n <\/p>\n

\n US and Mexican officials have struggled to respond to the arrivals, with Washington putting increasing pressure<\/a> on Mexico City to shoulder more responsibility for people crossing its territory.\n <\/p>\n

\n Food shortages and limited access to health care have driven more than 7.7 million people from Venezuela alone \u2013 a scale of displacement that outpaces Ukraine, where there\u2019s an active war.\n <\/p>\n

\n On Thursday, senior officials in the Biden administration said the US would restart deporting Venezuelans<\/a> directly to Venezuela in an attempt to curb the record influx, marking a major shift in policy.\n <\/p>\n

\n Haiti meanwhile is waiting for a new multinational mission<\/a> to help bring order to the country, currently roiled by unchecked gang violence, kidnappings<\/a> and food insecurity.\n <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
