Fentanyl crisis grips Mexico’s US border cities | BBC News
The synthetic opioid fentanyl is 50 times stronger than heroin and is responsible for tens of thousands of overdose deaths in the US last year.
Police in the US have told the BBC that the public health crisis is comparable to a modern day crack epidemic.
It’s a problem that is also sweeping Mexico’s border cities, as drug cartels begin to cut the substance into other drugs like cocaine.

Wildfires continue to cause uncertainty for Spanish and French residents as more than 300,000 people have had to leave their homes.
The French interior minister said the Gironde wildfire has “a life of its own” and that firefighters are facing an “unprecedented situation”, while people in Bordeaux are growing “anxious and fearful”, one resident said, with the blaze around nine miles (15 km) from the outskirts of the city.
Over the border, Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez visited Valencia where more wildfires have broken out and said that the country was suffering under the effects of climate change.
