Aftermath of Hurricane Otis: Searching for Missing and Assessing Damage in Acapulco

Residents of Acapulco, Mexico, are struggling in the aftermath of Hurricane Otis, the strongest hurricane to hit the city in decades. With no electricity or water, limited communication, and a lack of basic resources, survivors are searching for missing loved ones and seeking food and supplies. The storm caused extensive flooding, landslides, and destruction of homes, leaving many residents stranded and in need of assistance. The death toll stands at 27, with four people still missing. Despite the challenges, survivors are using online messaging platforms to connect with friends and relatives and share information. The government is conducting a house-by-house census to assess needs and has collected aid packages for distribution.
