The devastating floods in Texas in early July have already left 104 dead and dozens missing, mainly along the Guadalupe River. The Mexican government quickly dispatched rescue teams from various states to support the search and care for the victims.
This is a humanitarian crisis caused by overflowing rivers that caused water levels to rise by up to 8 meters in some Texas counties, leaving dozens in critical condition.
In response to this situation, various rescuer groups from Mexican institutions, using all-terrain vehicles and drones, responded to the search and rescue of survivors, demonstrating solidarity and a bilateral commitment that goes beyond attacks and political views.
In the most dramatic case, a group of girls were swept away by the river in Kerrville. They were at a Christian camp where the daughters of elite Texas families gather each year to sleep in cabins and socialize. Twenty-seven girls have been reported missing.
Social leaders in the U.S. recognize President Sheinbaum’s support in difficult times and the value of Mexicans in their ongoing cooperative relationship.
