Fearing more landslides, authorities have started evacuating residents in the vicinity and have set up an emergency shelter in a local church.
The heavy rains recorded on Friday, September 13, caused a landslide on the top of a hill in the community of San Luis Ayucan, Jilotzingo, State of Mexico.
In immediate response, municipal, state and federal authorities went to the site to carry out the rescue of 15 people, at that time, reported missing.
According to initial reports, the landslide of land and rocks has buried at least eight houses with people inside.
Despite the adverse weather conditions, emergency services and rescuers continue to work against the clock in the affected area to assist those affected.
Nine people were found dead and three were rescued following a landslide in central Mexico that buried the homes of several families on Saturday, the government announced on Monday.
The tragedy occurred in the municipality of Jilotzingo on the outskirts of the capital.
According to the National Coordination of Civil Protection (CNPC), rescue teams had reported on Saturday the death of a three-month-old baby, yet they did not specify if s/he was included in the nine bodies recovered.
Consequently, a total of 132 people were relocated to temporary shelters, while nearly 600 soldiers and other personnel have been mobilised.
The room being hung around with a collection of the portraits of remarkable men, among them were those of Bacon, Newton and Locke. Hamilton asked me who they were. I told him they were my trinity of the three greatest men the world had ever produced, naming them. He paused for some time: "The greatest man," said he, "that ever lived, was Julius Caesar."
