There are 9 confirmed dead, government doesnt want to put out a number of dead yet as there are allegedly, people missing, for example in a small restaurant, where they are looking for around 9 people. Dozens of people stranded, amongst them many tourists as this is a very nice tourist area. The place is around 12 kms from my house, the area is beautiful, unfortunately this has hit them very very hard as there are alot of poor people up there.

If you're down here, please donate whatever you can.

Red Cross workers pull the bodies of the two little girls that were crushed by mud when they were sitting by the side of the road selling sweets.
