Government says further 10 people unaccounted for in wake of storm that hit Acapulco with 165mph winds
The death toll from a devastating hurricane that hit the Mexican beach resort of Acapulco last week has risen to 39, the government said on Saturday, as the president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, accused his opponents of exaggerating the scale of the disaster.
Hurricane Otis pounded Acapulco, in the southern state of Guerrero, with winds of 165mph (266 km/h) on Wednesday, flooding the city, tearing roofs from homes, stores and hotels, submerging vehicles, and severing communications as well as road and air connections.
