        Thousands of migrants have converged under the bridge that connects Del Rio, Texas and Mexico's Ciudad Acuna, creating a makeshift camp with few basic services in intense heat in the latest border emergency facing U.S. President Joe Biden.
        
        Food and water has been scarce, around 20 migrants told Reuters, and temperatures have risen to around 99 Fahrenheit (37 Celsius). Reuters witnessed hundreds of migrants wading through the Rio Grande river and back into Mexico to stock up on essentials they say they are not receiving on the American side.
        
        The migrants are mostly Haitians, with Cubans, Venezuelans and Nicaraguans also present.
