Frustration, desperation grow in Acapulco 5 days after Hurricane Otis

Acapulco, Mexico, Oct 29 (EFE).- Frustration and desperation were growing among residents of the city of Acapulco, five days after the devastating Hurricane Otis hit, due to the lack of food and basic services as Mexico’s president on Sunday called for them to act with "righteousness and order.”

So far, the emergency caused by the impact of Otis, which hit the resort of Acapulco as a Category 5 hurricane last Wednesday, has left 48 dead, in addition to 36 missing, according to reports from the Mexican government. (Camera: DAVID GUZMÁN).
