Relief work begins to take shape in Acapulco as residents continue search for essentials after Otis

Published Fri, 21 Feb 2025 18:05:13 GMT

ACAPULCO, Mexico (AP) — Government workers and volunteers cleared streets, gas station lines wrapped around the block for what gas was to be had, and some lucky families found food essentials as a more organized relief operation took shape Saturday in Acapulco, four days after Hurricane Otis.The aid has been slow to arrive. The Category 5 storm’s destruction cut off the city of nearly 1 million people for the first day and it intensified so quickly on Tuesday that little to nothing had been staged in advance.Authorities had the difficult task of searching for the dead and missing. Many remained incredulous that the government’s initial death toll of 27 and four missing had not risen.One military official, who did not want to give his name because he was not authorized to speak to media, said officials in his area had found at least six bodies and his unit had found one.It had been difficult to find bodies because they were often covered in trees and other debris, he said. He was cer...
