Mexico City (AFP) Sept 17, 2024
Authorities recovered nine bodies after a weekend landslide buried the homes of multiple families in central Mexico, officials said Monday.

The disaster happened Saturday in the village of San Luis Ayucan, near the capital, the national civil protection agency said.

Rescue teams using sniffer dogs were able to save three people from the mounds of mud left by the landslide.

An infant was confirmed dead that same day but it was not clear if this death was part of the nine announced Monday.

Nearly 150 people in the village were forced from their homes and are now living in shelters.

Landslides are common in Mexico especially in the rainy and hurricane season running from May to November.
