Catastrophic downpours and ensuing floods claim lives of 2 individuals in Mexico

Mexico City has been hit by heavy rainfall since June 2025, leading to devastating flooding that has disrupted the city and caused tragic losses. The flooding has been so severe that it has shut down the city's subway system and caused serious damage to houses and cars.

According to reports by AFP, the flooding has been so extreme that federal authorities have initiated a military emergency response plan. The civil protection report has confirmed two deaths in the city of Queretaro due to the heavy rains, with at least two more people reported killed in the flooding in central Mexico. The bodies of the two individuals were found in Queretaro shortly before midnight on Friday.

The flooding has left dozens of avenues, streets, and homes under water across Mexico City. The search results do not identify the teams or organizations conducting the rescue efforts, but it is clear that they are working tirelessly to save lives and help those affected by the disaster.
