Facebook CEO "Mark Zukarbarg" is ready to contribute 1$ million to Cruz Roja Mexicana Sede Nacional to support the relief efforts on the ground.

Hurricane Max slammed into Mexico's southern Pacific coast last week Thursday, dumping rain on an area east of the resort city of Acapulco before rapidly weakening into a tropical storm as it moved inland into Guerrero state.

The coastline where Max made landfall is sparsely populated and dotted with fishing villages.

Guerrero Gov. Hector Astudillo warned that the rains would continue all night. Near Acapulco, the government worked frantically to widen a channel to the sea to prevent a coastal lagoon from flooding.

At least 248 people are dead after a 7.1-magnitude earthquake hit Mexico on Tuesday causing widespread devastation across Mexico City where a school has collapsed.

Twenty children and two adults were confirmed dead after being found in the debris of the Enrique Rebsamen school, with a further 30 children and eight adults still missing as of 2am Wednesday.



According to his post on Facebook

My thoughts are with everyone affected by the earthquake in
Mexico. Facebook is contributing $1 million to Cruz Roja Mexicana Sede Nacional to support the relief efforts on the ground. We're also partnering with UNICEF to waive fees on all donations to their organization made through our tools that will go to recovery efforts in Mexico. Thanks to everyone in our community who's doing their part to help people recover. # FuerzaMéxico
