By mid-day Sunday, Mexico City Mayor Clara Brugada’s office had set up seven command posts in Iztapalapa in order to coordinate dredging efforts, deliver food rations and hand out first-aid kits. The entire city and three México state municipalities to the east were drenched. An elderly couple told the newspaper La Jornada that they did not sleep at all on Saturday night. Another Iztpapalapa resident tearfully told La Jornada that the water reached her granddaughters’ necks as they struggled to escape the flooding.
