A Red Cross base in Valle de Santiago, Guanajuato, was targeted by a group of individuals in the early hours of a Friday. Approximately three men arrived in a sedan and acted aggressively toward staff and administrative volunteers.

Following an initial confrontation, the attackers returned to the facility, causing significant damage and destruction to the premises. During the incident, a volunteer who attempted to mediate the situation was physically assaulted. The Salamanca Delegation of the Mexican Red Cross condemned the violence and threats, stating that “no circumstance justifies violence against humanitarian workers,” and announced plans to pursue legal action to hold the perpetrators accountable.
