As the ultra-powerful hurricane 'Otis' made landfall causing massive damage in Mexico, a police officer who directly breastfed a hungry baby at the disaster site received a special promotion.

On the 8th (local time), according to the Secretariat of Citizen Security (SSC), which serves as the Mexico City Metropolitan Police Department, Pablo Vasquez Camacho, the Mexico City Secretary of Citizen Security, promoted police officer Arisves Dionisio Ambrosio for his dedicated support to hurricane victims. Accordingly, Ambrosio was given the rank of Suboficial, equivalent to a junior manager.

Secretary Camacho posted related photos on his social media, stating, "He faithfully fulfilled his calling to serve the citizens and elevated the nation's dignity," and added, "His actions are a good example of humanism for everyone."

Earlier, on the 29th of last month, while conducting relief operations in Acapulco, Mexico, which was devastated by Hurricane Otis, Officer Ambrosio heard the cry of a baby.

Following the sound, he found a woman holding a 4-month-old baby. The woman reportedly told Officer Ambrosio, "Our home is already destroyed, and we cannot find any baby food," and "(the baby) has not eaten anything for over 24 hours."

Being a mother of two children herself, Ambrosio began breastfeeding the hungry baby, who soon stopped crying.

The photo of Officer Ambrosio breastfeeding the baby was shared on social media, causing a great response locally.

Local media reported that Officer Ambrosio, who is raising a 5-year-old and a 1-year-old child, was able to help the baby driven by maternal instinct.

Officer Ambrosio said, "The baby's cry sounded unusual, so I approached instinctively," and added, "Although I did very little in the face of this massive natural disaster, I am glad to be able to support the affected families."

Hurricane Otis struck the western coast of Mexico in the early morning of the 25th of last month. It is known that the famous resort city of Acapulco and surrounding areas suffered significant damage.

According to the daily response report on Hurricane Otis provided by the Mexican government, as of the previous day, 48 people have died and 31 are missing.
