Mexico Increases Aid to Acapulco as Hurricane Otis Death Toll Climbs

The death toll from Hurricane Otis in Acapulco, Mexico continues to rise, with 48 people confirmed dead and six missing. The government has sent aid and troops to the stricken city, which was left incommunicado after the Category 5 storm hit with 165 mph winds. Looting has broken out as essential supplies become scarce. President Andrés Manuel López Obrador has pledged to lead recovery efforts, and the cost of damage is estimated to be as high as $15 billion. However, there has been criticism of the government's response, with residents in flooded areas struggling to find food and water.
