The new holocaust - the crisis is killing the poor
Mexico and Central America are said to be one of the regions most affeted by the crisis. The often illegal economic migration to the USA was traditionally a mitigating factor. A study prepared for the BBC by the Migration Policy Institute revealed that in the past three years the number of new migrants from Mexico to the United States fell considerably, dropping from 653,000 between March 2004 and March 2005 to only 175,000 in the same period in 2008 and 2009.
the following statistics are from BBC mundo
Mexico - 12.5 million work in informal sector.
ILO say 500 000 workers sacked in Central America.
5 .1 million people in food poverty in Mexico.
50% suffer chronic nutrition in Guatemala.
Half of population of El Salvador, Honduras y Nicaragua suffer malnutrition.
“When there is no money, the first who stop eating are the under threes, there is not a family that does not take this decision....according to the specialist the real impact of the crisis in infant nutrition will start to be apparent in 5 years”
