Survivors desperately searching for water, food as Hurricane Otis batters S. Mexico state

Troops from the Mexican National Guard began clearing debris from the streets of Acapulco midtown on Saturday (October 28) after Hurricane Otis battered the Mexican coastal city and flattened homes. The death toll from Hurricane Otis has risen to 39 in the southern Mexican state of Guerrero, with 10 people reported missing, the Mexican government said Saturday. The cost of devastation left by Otis has been estimated at billions of dollars, and some 80 percent of hotel infrastructure is estimated to have been damaged and essential services were cut off. Thought over 8,000 armed forces members were sent to help the stricken port recover, survivors are struggling to get fuel, water and food on Saturday (October 28), awaiting relief efforts. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador accused his opponents of exaggerating the scale of the disaster. Lopez Obrador on Saturday issued a 24-minute video on social media to update the country on the situation. He devoted much of it to attacking critics he accused of trying to exploit the situation ahead of next year’s presidential election.
