The Mexican Red Cross delegation in Ciudad Victoria, Tamaulipas, is experiencing a monthly financial deficit of 220,000 pesos. With monthly operating costs at 300,000 pesos and fixed revenues at only 80,000 pesos, the institution has been forced to limit its operational territory. 

Local delegate Francisco Arellano Conde reported that emergency coverage in surrounding areas, such as Padilla, has ceased to prioritize medical transfers that generate recovery fees. The organization is currently managing debts with utility providers and is seeking assistance from local business leaders and through donation programs to maintain ambulance operations.
