Conjunto Nacional México, the rhythmic gymnastics team from Mexico, was preparing in Israel for the Pan-American Olympics when Hamas attacked.
A coach from the Mexican National Rhythmic Gymnastics Team is pleading for help after the war in Israel stranded her and her team during an overseas training trip. 'The situation has taken an unexpected and disturbing turn,' said Blajaith Aguilar, the team's coach, in an Instagram video posted Monday. Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel over the weekend, killing hundreds of people, including many civilians, and trapping others in their homes.
Aguilar, head coach for the gymnastics team since 2016, is from Guadalajara in the Mexican state of Jalisco. Jalisco Gov. Enrique Alfaro Ramírez acknowledged Aguilar's video in a post on social media Monday morning, and said the state and national governments are coordinating to get her home safely. He added that the government is working to support other Jalisco residents in Israel. 'We are safe and well,' Aguilar said to her Instagram followers.
