#Puebla, #México.- Facing the critical situation caused by torrential rains in the Sierra Norte, the Governor of Puebla, Alejandro Armenta, asserted that the state administration has maintained constant attention to the communities, firmly denying any suggestion of abandonment since the emergency began. The Governor confirmed that the search for the two missing persons—an adult and a minor—remains active, supported by canine units, drones, and specialist divers. «We were there the day after, and the teams are still working,» he stressed, underscoring the compassionate commitment to the affected families.

Governor Armenta reaffirmed his government’s complete dedication to rescue and aid efforts, fully understanding the «grief of the families» and guaranteeing that every available resource will be used to locate the missing individuals. He further highlighted the immediate coordination with the Government of Mexico, noting that President Claudia Sheinbaum has been «attentive to the contingency from the very first moment.» This inter-institutional synergy has been essential for the comprehensive and effective response across the disaster zone.

Within this framework of intensive coordination, the Head of the State Executive noted the successful restoration of access across all affected municipalities and communities. This crucial achievement was secured thanks to the prompt and resolute action of the Federal Government, the state administration, and the deployment of the armed forces, including the Secretariat of National Defence (SEDENA), the Secretariat of the Navy (SEMAR), and the National Guard (GN). This collaborative effort has been vital in restoring connectivity and hope to the populace.

Finally, Governor Alejandro Armenta shared the official figures for the emergency, deeply regretting the registration of 22 fatalities and over 64 thousand affected persons. He reported that an immediate census was conducted on 11 thousand homes to facilitate access to aid and commence the recovery of lost possessions. Additionally, 162 hospitals were provided with support, 113 thousand direct aid packages were delivered, and air bridges were established using 11 helicopters to ensure the timely distribution of supplies in hard-to-reach areas.
