Heavy flooding troubles Guatemala

Guatemala-The president of Guatemala has declared a state of emergency due to excessive rain. Rainfall in some areas reached as much as 377 percent higher than the average in the rainy season.More than 50 communities in the eastern region of Guatemala have been affected by the onslaught of floodwaters.The rain has caused mudslides, collapsed roads, and flooded rivers in many remote areas.In many cases, the mudslides buried homes, destroyed bridges, roads, farmland, and cut off electricity, phone lines, and food access for thousands.It is difficult for many residents to find food, water, and shelter.Children are also suffering from diarrhea, lung infections, flu, fungus, and other illnesses.The government estimates the storms have resulted in heavy agricultural losses, leaving approximately 1,335,000 residents in an increased state of food insecurity, which could last for the remainder of the year.Orphan Outreach based in Dallas, Texas is partnering with ministry programs in Guatemala City, as well as working in the communities of Panabaj, Pacux and Lemoa.
