Red Cross reopens Poza Rica facilities after flood damage

The Mexican Red Cross has officially reopened its delegation in Poza Rica, Veracruz, following a comprehensive rehabilitation of the building. The facilities had sustained total damage during floods caused by the overflowing of the Cazones River in October 2025.

The restoration was funded by an investment of 4,436,840 pesos provided by the Sertull Foundation, led by Pilar Servitje de Mariscal. The renovation included structural repairs, the acquisition of new furniture and computer equipment, and the procurement of training materials and medical supplies for ambulances to restore the institution's full operational capacity.

The reopening ceremony was attended by local and national officials, including Poza Rica Mayor Adanely Rodríguez Rodríguez and the state delegate for Veracruz, Oswaldo Jesús Ficachi Figueroa. The project aims to strengthen emergency services and medical care for the population of Poza Rica and surrounding municipalities.
