"Mexico's Hurricane Otis Leaves Devastation and Desperation in its Wake"

The death toll from Hurricane Otis in Acapulco, Mexico, has risen to 39, with four others missing. President Lopez Obrador accused his critics of exaggerating the extent of the disaster and exploiting the situation for political gain. The government has provided little information about the dead and injured, but Security Minister Rosa Icela Rodriguez stated that the victims were believed to have drowned. Looting has been rampant in Acapulco, with residents complaining about insufficient government aid. Over 220,000 homes and 80% of the hotel sector have been affected, and more than 513,000 people lost power. The cost of the devastation is estimated to be billions of dollars.
