Anger rises in flood-stricken southern Mexico
Source: AFP
05 November 2007 – Anger and despair rose Monday as victims of southern Mexico's disastrous floods, some perched on rooftops, complained of chaotic aid distribution and looting.
Hundreds of people in Villahermosa, the capital of the flood-stricken state of Tabasco, refused to comply with orders to evacuate, fearing their homes or businesses could fall victim to looters, who have been using boats to gain access to buildings cut off by high water.
Over the weekend, police arrested more than 50 people accused of stealing domestic appliances and other items, according to local media.
In a bid to prevent further looting, State Governor Andres Granier limited access to the city center to people officially registered.
Authorities estimate that about 20,000 people were trapped in their homes and had not received any aid.
Many residents sat on rooftops, holding up signs asking for food and water, but refusing to evacuate to emergency shelters.
"We have evacuated as many as we could, but some are reticent and we try to convince them to leave," said Jose Domingo Garcia, a local official coordinating the deployment of motor boats to affected homes in Villahermosa.
Many of the flood victims complained of chaotic distribution of emergency aid.
Television pictures showed dozens of people fighting over a box of food supplies in Villahermosa.
On Saturday, about 1,000 people overran a downtown shopping center in Tabasco, overwhelming law enforcement officials and making off with everything in sight, including televisions and home appliances.
"People are going hungry, we're aware of that," Granier said on television after the incident, "but being hungry doesn't justify such behaviour and outright attacks."
…
Authorities say about half Tabasco's population of 2.1 million people have been affected by the floods, the worst in the southern Mexican state's history.
In
all, 700 cities and villages have been affected.
Comments: It’s almost impossible to count the number of countries that have been inundated by serious flooding this year. How many times have we read that flooding has been the “worst in history” in many of these countries that have been affected? Our world is changing and it may be too late to reverse the impact of global warming and the damage that has already been done.
The bible tells us that in the last days there will be distress of nations. How can we deny that what we are witnessing all over the globe is increasing in scope and getting worse with each passing year? Soon, these floods will outdo the floods that are already historic.
Lu 21:25 And there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars; and upon the earth distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring;
Lu 21:26 Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken.
