Mexico faces a grim aftermath as torrential rains have caused widespread flooding, raising the death toll to 64. The floods have severely impacted five states, with rivers overflowing, roads destroyed, and bridges swept away, leaving numerous communities isolated and vulnerable. The disaster has prompted an urgent, large-scale response to manage the unfolding humanitarian crisis.
Massive Rescue and Relief Operations
