The efforts are part of a growing trend in humanitarian aid that has accelerated amid the coronavirus pandemic, which has highlighted the difficulties in getting basic health care to migrants. But the group's goal is not just to care for migrants once they reach the border. It wants to offer health care along the routes migrants take. The group is working to connect migrants to health care and other resources by asking them what they need via WhatsApp. The International Rescue Committee next month is officially launching InfoDigna, an interactive map in Mexico that connects migrants to shelters, health care providers and other services wherever they are.
