SILVER SPRING, MD (9 de noviembre de 2023)\u00a0<\/strong>\u2013 The Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) is on the ground in Mexico responding to the devastation caused by Hurricane OTIS that struck on October 25. Otis, a Category 5 hurricane with sustained winds of 165 mph, touched down near Acapulco, on Mexico’s southern Pacific coast. National Hurricane Center reports indicate the storm quickly strengthened offshore and became the fiercest hurricane in the Eastern Pacific to ever make landfall in the United States. According to UN agencies, more than 1 million people, including 300,000 children need humanitarian aid.\u00a0 In the State of Guerrero, the catastrophic storm left 100 people dead or missing, damaged at least 120 clinics and hospitals, and destroyed more than 270,000 houses and over 400 hotels in the tourist section of Acapulco.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADRA se moviliz\u00f3 r\u00e1pidamente a las pocas horas de producirse la crisis para ayudar a m\u00e1s de 3.000 personas. La agencia mundial proporcion\u00f3 servicios gratuitos de Internet por sat\u00e9lite y ayuda monetaria inmediata a familias afectadas que viv\u00edan en la extrema pobreza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\u201cEsta tragedia ha destrozado las vidas de algunos de los barrios m\u00e1s desfavorecidos del Estado de Guerrero. Los equipos de respuesta a emergencias y los voluntarios de ADRA han estado trabajando sin descanso d\u00eda y noche para entregar asistencia cr\u00edtica. Los cortes de electricidad y las interrupciones del servicio telef\u00f3nico afectaron a una parte importante de la poblaci\u00f3n. Desde nuestra llegada, nuestro servicio de Internet por sat\u00e9lite ha aportado tranquilidad a cientos de familias que hab\u00edan perdido todo contacto con sus seres queridos\u201d, afirma Rub\u00e9n Ponce, director de ADRA en M\u00e9xico.<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n
