while they were trying to deliver aid.
Gunmen waylaid a group of volunteers bringing aid to earthquake victims in Mexico, shooting one, raping another and beating several, all for $2,000 and a few cellphones.
The group of Catholic youth volunteers left Mexico City in three pickup trucks loaded with food and relief aid for communities affected by the earthquakes in Oaxaca Tuesday morning, but a group of unidentified gunmen intercepted them and shot up their cars, wounding one of the volunteers, according to Siame. The gunmen raped one of the girls, beat one of the young men so severely that he almost died, and left with the volunteers’ phones and the contents of their vehicles.
The gunmen’s attack against the volunteers was not the first such attack, according to Arvizú. Other volunteers have been assaulted, and the Mexican army even tried to rob volunteers from Guanajuato of their relief supplies. Stories of these dangers have begun dissuading would-be volunteers from lending a hand to communities in Mexico.
