SEATTLE - Doctors Without Borders (Médecins Sans Frontières, MSF) announced it has resumed its work in support of Tucson-based nonprofit groups that are bringing humanitarian aid to migrants and asylum seekers crossing the U.S.-Mexico border near the Sonora Desert.

Back in April, MSF partnered with Humane Borders, Samaritans, No More Deaths, along with other local nonprofit groups to assess the medical humanitarian needs of migrants and asylum seekers crossing the southern U.S. border into Arizona. And this month they launched the initiative to continue with the support.
