Poza Rica (AFP) – As the Mexican Navy begins cleanup efforts in Poza Rica, some residents of the town, which is completely blanketed in mud, worry that the scale of the disaster requires more assistance. “Even now, it’s a stretch to say they’ve ‘helped us,'” says Francisco Martinez, as he stands in his muddy house, adding, “Nothing can be salvaged.” Last week, torrential rains battered several Mexican states, leaving at least 129 people dead or missing.
