The Tarahumara communities are among some of the poorest in Mexico

Emergency aid is being sent to northern Mexico where indigenous communities are suffering severe food shortages.

The indigenous Tarahumara, famed for their long-distance running ability, have been hit by a prolonged drought and now freezing temperatures.

Mexicans began donating supplies at the weekend amid reports, later denied, of suicides among the Tarahumara.

Officials say they are stepping up their aid efforts given the seriousness of the situation.

2. I wonder where, or to what organization you can donate that will go directly to help them? nt

3. Plus they're caught in the middle of war on drugs violence

These people are so vulnerable.
