"Devastation and Desperation: Aftermath of Hurricane Otis in Acapulco"
TL;DR
Dozens of people are still missing six days after Hurricane Otis struck Acapulco, Mexico, with 45 bodies recovered and at least 47 unaccounted for. The slow arrival of aid has frustrated locals, leading to instances of looting. The government has sent soldiers and police to the area, promising to restore Acapulco. Retailers have called for increased security to prevent further thefts. Roads have been cleared, facilitating food delivery, and electricity has been restored to two-thirds of the city. The rapid intensification of Otis caught many off guard, exacerbating the storm's impact.
