Mexico is still shaken by the tragedy caused by the series of explosions that on Tuesday devastated a pyrotechnic market near the capital with a preliminary balance of 31 dead, 72 wounded and at least 32 missing.

Among the most seriously injured are six minors, three of whom will be transferred to the Shriners specialized children's hospital in Galveston, Texas, thanks to the prompt intervention of the Michou and Mau Foundation, which is chaired by the Virginia Sendel newspaper from Lemaitre.

Two of the seriously injured girls were identified as Erica Villanueva Ramírez and Pamela Guerrero Villanueva, after the authorities of the Tultepec city council, where the tragedy occurred, issued a call to the community through networks to locate the parents or guardians of the minors, who are in hospitals in the area.

The images and videos shared on social networks give an idea of the magnitude of the tragedy, the cause of which has not yet been determined.

This video testifies to the panic that erupted after the first explosions.

“We have two young children who are very serious; there is a little girl with 90 percent (burns on the body), in Xochimilco we have another one that is not so serious and she is going to be the first who can leave [for Galveston] this morning and we have another boy in Lomas

However, as time is pressing and given the possibility that the parents of the minors are among the fatal victims of the accident, the authorities are launching a plan B.

"The DIF of the State of Mexico is giving us legal guardians who can accompany them in what is found to their parents to avoid wasting time," added the communicator.

The Michou and Mau Foundation has already started a fundraising campaign to help victims of this tragedy at www.
