The remnants of Hurricane Stan combined with the normal Central American rainy season sent rivers of mud flowing across the central Guatemalan highlands. The landslide is believed to be the worst single disaster in the area; several days of flooding have killed hundreds in Central America and southern Mexico. The survivors are at risk of malnutrition and water borne diseases.
