GUATEMALA CITY, (Reuters) – At least 253 bodies have been recovered after a massive landslide buried part of a town in Guatemala last week, with 374 people still unaccounted for, national disaster agency Conred said yesterday. After heavy rains, a hillside collapsed onto Santa Catarina Pinula on the southeastern edge of Guatemala City on Oct. 1, burying more than a hundred homes under tons of earth, rock and trees.
Entire families were buried alive and hundreds of rescue workers have spent the past week trying to dig out bodies.
