Mexico City shelter for Ukraine refugees to close

Organizers of a camp for Ukrainian refugees who had traveled to Mexico said Tuesday they will soon close it and discouraged Ukrainians still in Europe from traveling to Mexico as they try to enter the United States.

Some 1,000 Ukrainians passed through the camp during the month that it was open on the east side of Mexico City. Before the camp was established in Mexico City, Ukrainians were traveling to Tijuana at the U.S.-Mexico border. The camp will close by June 1, but Ukrainians remaining in Mexico will continue receiving support.
