Exhausted by lack of food and blistering temperatures, the migrant caravan heading for the United States stops to rest in southern Mexico.
The group bedded down for the night in Mapastepec, Chiapas state, still some 1,000 miles from the closest US border.
Those in the caravan, which largely consists of Honduran migrants, are marching northwards, in the hope of finding better lives in the States.
But in recent days, hundreds have accepted government offers to be bussed back to their homes.
They face sleeping on the ground in towns and relying on food from local residents, with the federal government not handing out food or water.
Many, who fled their countries due to poverty and violence, are also put off by the involvement of police.
The size of the group, which began with about 160 people leaving the Honduran city of San Pedro Sula, has swelled to what the UN believe is about 7,200.
It is thought five to 10 per cent are children.
Donald Trump has threatened to cut off aid to Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador over the caravan.
