2007 South Mexico Floods
7 facilities taking part · since Nov 21, 2007.
One of the worst natural disasters in Mexico's history, floods have left nearly one million people displaced, destroyed 100 percent of crops and left 80 percent of the state of Tabasco under water. In addition, a major mudslide has buried a neighboring village in Chiapas, leaving 100 homes destroyed and at least 16 people feared dead. With all of the area's hospitals and medical centers affected, flood victims are left with little to no access to healthcare. It is particularly crucial as submergence in the stagnant water has left people vulnerable to colds, respiratory illnesses, and fungal infections, and at risk of more serious waterborne diseases like cholera and dengue, all of which can be transmitted through contaminated water.
