Hurricane Otis, a devastating storm that hit Mexico, has resulted in a death toll of 39 people as reported by Reuters and the U.S. Embassy in Mexico. The hurricane, which made landfall on October 28, 2023, has caused significant damage, particularly in the city of Acapulco.

In the aftermath of the hurricane, residents of Acapulco have been left to fend for themselves due to a lack of immediate aid. According to ADN, many residents have been forced to rely on their own resources to survive, as aid has been slow to arrive. The U.S. Embassy in Mexico has also issued a message for U.S. citizens in Acapulco, providing information on departure procedures and advising them to monitor local news for updates.

The hurricane has caused widespread destruction, with many homes and buildings destroyed. The lack of immediate aid has exacerbated the situation, leaving many residents struggling to find food, water, and shelter. The U.S. Embassy has urged U.S. citizens to make necessary arrangements for their safety and to follow the instructions of local authorities.
