Mexico City cop breastfeeds baby boy who went TWO DAYS without food after Hurricane Otis

A female police officer is being praised for breastfeeding an Acapulco boy who went without food for 48 hours after Hurricane Otis.

Police officer Arizbeth Ambrosio was dispatched from Mexico City to the devastated resort and had just finished her tour when she was approached on Sunday by the child’s hysterical mother.

The woman was in tears and complained that the four-month-old boy had gone two days without a meal and that she was having trouble finding baby food for him, Mexico City’s Secretariat of Citizen Security said in a statement.

One mother herself, Ambrosio, volunteered and breastfed the child while sitting on the sidewalk of a local business.

“After a few minutes, when the citizen saw that the minor was satisfied, he thanked the policewoman for her support and kindness,” the law enforcement agency said.

Pablo Vázquez, who oversees the Secretariat of Citizen Security, said: “My admiration for the commitment, kindness and vocation to service of the Mexico City Police.”

Ambrosio is part of a special search and rescue unit in Mexico City known as “Zorros,” which consists of 100 officers and was deployed this weekend to Acapulco, where 43 people were killed by the Category 5 hurricane.

Five deaths were reported in the nearby municipality of Coyuca de Benítez.

Guerrero state Governor Evelyn Salgado said on Sunday that 36 people were still missing, up from 10 on Saturday.

The death toll rose after authorities raised it to 39 a day earlier.

Military personnel and volunteers spent the weekend clearing debris along Acapulco’s main tourist strip. Salgado said Sunday that the main boulevard has been cleared.

Salgado added that 58 percent of homes and businesses in Acapulco had electricity restored by the national electric company.

There were also 21 water tankers distributing water to remote communities outside Acapulco, which were in ruins.

Residents have complained about the government’s response to the devastating hurricane with winds of up to 265 miles per hour.

Nearly 1 million people were left in darkness and without running water by the storm — the strongest on record for a landfalling tropical cyclone in the eastern Pacific — desperately looting supermarkets and shopping centers for foot and toilet paper, while others were rounded up as they ran away with electronics and household items.

Since then, the military presence grew to 15,000 and President Andrés Manuel López Obrador called on the armed forces to set up checkpoints in the city to deter looting and theft.

López Obrador said 220,000 homes were damaged by the storm, according to the federal civil protection agency.
