International Red Cross Equates Mexico
Peter Maurer
During his visit to Mexico   Peter Maurer   the president of the International Committee of the Red Cross spent time in Reynosa  a battlefront between rival groups of the Gulf Cartel that continue to fight over the territory. The purpose of the visit by the Red Cross was to evaluate the effects of organized crime and illegal immigration in Tamaulipas. One of the concerns expressed by  Maurer  was the humanitarian crisis in the northern parts of Mexico where citizens cannot enjoy access to basic services like education or medical care without running the risk of becoming victims to organized crime.
During his trip   Maurer  shared on social media various messages where  he  tries to offer a sense of depth to the problem. One of the messages reveals an empty school after classes were suspended due to the recent gun battles by the Gulf Cartel.

âOur concern in Mexico  our basic proposal to the Mexican government is that derived from our experience in war zone and that some of the impacts are the same  some of the answers that we have proposed could be interesting to the Mexican government for consideration â  Maurer  said in an interview with Mexicoâs El Universal.
