Caption: Hurricane Otis has made landfall on the Pacific coast on 25 October, with winds reaching 165mph (266 km/h). It had intensified from a tropical storm into a category five hurricane – the most severe category – in just 12 hours – and became the strongest storm ever to hit Mexico’s Pacific coast damaging more than 200,000 homes. Acapulco was among the areas worst hit in Mexico, with 80% of the resort’s hotels damaged and streets flooded. Families have lost their entire homes, schools are damaged, and hundreds of thousands of people were without power and water. 11-year-old Diego* speaks of his experience: “I had a bad time, a tree fell when we were inside the house, we went into a room to protect ourselves, but the rain and the wind were pushing the door, we had to put a bed and a sofa against the door to keep the water out, it was the only way to survive. I was left without clothes and I would like to go back to school, but for now we can’t”.While seven-year-old twin sisters Nayeli* and Ana* say: “we need food, water, shades because it’s very hot here,”Save the Children delivered a Humanitarian Response in the Guerrero region on November 3 supplying food, water, hygiene and wellbeing kits. In one shelter, Save the Children created a child-friendly space where HEAR activities are carried out to help children process traumatic experiences following the Category five Hurricane.
