Mudslide hits Mexican Village


A mudslide has struck a village in Mexico's southern Chiapas state as the neighbouring Tabasco state fights flooding. Rescue workers in Mexico are searching for at least 16 people reported missing in the southern state of Chiapas after a landslide buried their village.
The village is the latest victim of heavy rains which have flooded 80% of neighbouring Tabasco state, leaving at least 500,000 people homeless.
At least 20,000 people are still trapped by floodwaters and many people are still waiting for aid supplies.
