Rescue team members search for mudslide victims in Santa Catarina Pinula, on the outskirts of Guatemala City, October 2, 2015. Hundreds of rescue workers dug through sludge and rock on Friday looking for survivors of a massive mudslide in Guatemala that killed at least nine people and left as many as 600 missing, burying homes in a town on the edge of the capital. Heavy rains swept a torrent of boulders and mud over dozens of homes on Thursday night in Santa Catarina Pinula on the southeastern flank of Guatemala City, one of the worst mudslides to hit the poor Central American country in recent memory.

Σύμφωνα με τον Νταβίντ ντε Λεόν, εκπρόσωπο της εθνικής υπηρεσίας συντονισμού των επιχειρήσεων για την αντιμετώπιση φυσικών καταστροφών (CONRED), από την κατολίσθηση έχουν καταγραφεί επίσης τουλάχιστον 32 τραυματισμοί. Ο Νταβίντ ντε Λεόν είπε στο Γαλλικό Πρακτορείο ότι οι αρχές είχαν συστήσει πέρυσι στις δημοτικές αρχές να μεταφερθούν αλλού προληπτικά κάτοικοι περιοχών που θεωρούνταν ευάλωτες, διότι από την περιοχή όπου ζούσαν διέρχεται ένα ρέμα..

The collapse of a hillside onto a town on the edge of Guatemala City killed at least 26 people and left hundreds missing on Friday, as rescue crews desperately searched for survivors in homes buried by dirt and sludge. Loosened by heavy rains, tons of dirt and trees tumbled onto Santa Catarina Pinula in a valley on the southeastern flank of the capital late on Thursday, flattening dozens of flimsy houses when many residents had gone home for the night.
