After earthquakes, rural Mexicans struggle to afford food

Nov 15, 2017
Food prices skyrocket in parts of rural Mexico still recovering from two devastating earthquakes.
Women and children wait in line before a truck distributing food and clothes in the Mexican town of San Mateo del Mar, Oaxaca. Mexicans were already struggling with rising food prices this year, and now the problem has gotten worse in many rural parts of the country recovering from two earthquakes that struck last September.
