Residents of Acapulco, Mexico have been left to fend for themselves in the aftermath of Hurricane Otis, as the government has failed to provide sufficient aid. Despite promises of assistance, desperate residents have taken essential goods from damaged stores, with police only intervening to prevent the looting of big-ticket items. The government's delayed reaction and lack of resources have exacerbated the situation. Large stores have been completely cleaned out, shelves are empty, and gasoline is unavailable due to a lack of electricity. Without immediate government aid, businesses may be forced to close permanently.
