Mexico State Governor Oversees Aid for Families Evacuated by Gas Leak

Mexico State Governor Delfina Gómez Álvarez personally inspected the support provided to families evacuated from their homes in Nezahualcóyotl following a natural gas leak. The incident prompted the evacuation of approximately 500 residences.

Gómez Álvarez visited a shelter established at the Technological University of Nezahualcóyotl, which is currently housing 172 individuals and 14 pets. She expressed confidence in the effectiveness of collaborative efforts, thanking those who contributed to ensuring the safety of the affected residents.

The emergency has been brought under control, and repair work on the pipeline is continuing in cooperation with the federal government. Authorities have advised residents living between Cariñito street and Doctor Gustavo Baz avenue to remain evacuated until their homes are deemed safe for re-entry. Notifications for residents in adjacent streets to return to their activities are expected within hours.

The gas leak was reportedly caused by a deliberate act, according to Nezahualcóyotl Mayor Adolfo Cerqueda. Investigations into the incident are ongoing.
