As a super typhoon made landfall causing massive damage in Mexico, a local female police officer became a topic of conversation for breastfeeding a baby who had not eaten for more than two days during rescue operations.

She looked around to find where the crying was coming from and soon met a woman holding a four-month-old baby. The woman asked Ambrosio for help, saying her baby had not eaten for more than two days.

Officer Ambrosio was also a mother of two children. She said, "Since I am also breastfeeding, if you want, I can feed the baby with my breast milk." The woman readily accepted, and Ambrosio removed her safety gear and began breastfeeding the hungry baby. The baby soon stopped crying.

Ambrosio said, "One of the things that really hurts everyone is the fact that we have to take care of babies in such situations." Her touching act was revealed through videos and photos released by the Mexico City Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC). It was later shared on local social media, causing a great response.

Meanwhile, Hurricane Otis, which struck Mexico, made landfall in the early morning of the 25th of last month and by the 2nd of this month (local time), 46 people had died and 58 were missing. The cleanup of the ruins is still ongoing, and the death toll is expected to rise.

The hurricane also affected livelihoods. In some neighborhoods, social order collapsed with hundreds of stores being looted. The government has currently deployed about 15,000 soldiers to restore order.

On the 1st, the Mexican government announced it would invest 4.6 trillion won in the reconstruction of hurricane damage and decided to exempt various taxes, including electricity bills, for residents in severely affected areas such as Acapulco until February next year. The Mexican business community expects the recovery to take at least two years.

Mexican President L?pez Obrador emphasized, "Above all, we will focus on investment to restore and rebuild the hotel industry and housing to shorten the recovery period," adding, "I want to say that noticeable changes will already be seen by this December."
