🇬🇹 GUATEMALA CITY: 6 ARE DEAD AND 12 MISSING AFTER FLASH FLOODS, SEARCH FOR MISSING CONTINUES

6 are confirmed dead and 12 missing after heavy rains in Guatemala caused flash flooding in the Central American Capital, Guatemala City on Monday.

The Guatemalan National Disaster Reduction Coordinator, in a statement released on Monday said the death toll had reached 6 persons, including a young girl, and 12 more are still missing.

The 5-year-old girl was found buried in debris and mud roughly three miles down the Naranjo River by first responders searching the debris for survivors.

Officials in Guatemala City said in a conference late Monday that garbage and other debris had effectively dammed the Naranjo River, causing water to pool. When the dam finally broke under pressure from heavy rains, the resulting torrent swept away entire homes downriver.

Officials say that around 2am, the rushing water swept away 6 homes and the families that lived in them. By 5am, First Responders were on the scene, searching the debris for survivors.

Officials claim they warned residents repeatedly to move away from the river because of the flood risk, though it is unclear if a mandatory order was issued at any point.

The Guatemalan Military has set up a command center and are overseeing the rescue effort.
