VERACRUZ, MEXICO – Following days of relentless rain from a powerful tropical weather system, flooding devastates southern Mexico communities and leaves a path of destruction across southern and central Mexico. The hardest-hit areas include the state of Veracruz, where entire communities were overwhelmed as rivers overflowed their banks, landslides crushed roads and homes, and families were forced to flee for their lives.
At least 64 people have been confirmed dead, and more than 60 remain missing. The municipalities of Coatzacoalcos, Minatitlán, Las Choapas, Cosoleacaque, and Acayucan are among the most severely affected. Thousands of residents have been displaced, with many left without shelter, food, or clean water. The neighboring states of Hidalgo and Puebla have also experienced major impacts.
Operation Blessing on the Ground
Operation Blessing’s local team in Mexico City has quickly mobilized, joined by members of the Global Disaster Response team. Together, they are working to assess the damage and bring emergency relief to families in need. As flooding devastates southern Mexico communities, aid workers are racing against time to reach those stranded without resources.
“Recent heavy rains have hit Mexico hard, causing devastating floods across several states,” shared Esteban from Operation Blessing. “One of the hardest hit areas is Veracruz, where families have lost their homes, are struggling to find food, and are facing incredibly tough conditions.”
Advanced teams are currently being deployed to deliver life-sustaining aid to those affected—including food, safe water, hygiene supplies, and other essential items.
