Mexiko. 'People will keep dying': Fentanyl crisis grips Mexico's border cities
The scene which greeted Tijuana's paramedics as they entered 'La Perla' bar in the early hours of the morning was grim.
Two men were unconscious - a heavy-set man sprawled on the floor, his friend slumped in a chair - both clinging to life by a thread.
Once more, the city's emergency services had been called out following a suspected fentanyl overdose - increasingly part of every nightshift, says paramedic Gabriel Valladares.
"It's getting worse. We're seeing more and more, and it's always fentanyl," he says. (BBC, UK, 07.02.2024)
