Guatemala City: More than 50 people in Guatemala were killed in landslides unleashed by storm Eta, the nation’s president said Thursday, after it inflicted devastation in parts of neighbouring Central American countries.

“In the morning we had four dead, now the figure is over 50 dead,” President Alejandro Giammattei said at an impromptu press conference.
