Reports are coming in regarding how the heavy rain and flooding have affected Guatemala, and for the moment things do not look good. At least 900 people have been displaced in the coastal regions of southeast Guatemala.
A report from Guatemala City states that some 180 families have been moved into temporary shelters, where volunteers are working to provide water, food and medical treatment when necessary.
The first flooding was caused when Los Esclavos river in southern Guatemala flooded the Playa area in the province of Chiquimula. Since that first flooding, the Guacalate and El Naranjo rivers have also flooded three areas of the province of Escuintla.
