Collateral Damage: Juarez exodus: Images of citizens fleeing Mexico's most violent city

A British paper looks at the collateral damage in Ciudad Juarez.

Juarez exodus: Images of citizens fleeing Mexico's most violent city | Mail Online: "Thousands of families continue to flee the most violent place in the world outside of declared war zones: Juarez, known as the ‘murder capital’.

The Mexican city, which is located in the north of the Central American country and is close to the U.S. border, once boasted a population of 1.5 million but has been caught in the crossfire of a deadly drug war.

According to business leaders, the exodus is around 110,000 but a municipal group and local university say it is closer to 230,000 – and estimates by social organisations put the figure even higher." Dec. 30, 2010
