Rescue workers in Mexico are searching for at least 38 people who are missing after torrential rains triggered flooding in 150 locations across five states.
At least 47 residents are confirmed dead, according to official figures released late on Sunday.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum has promised help for the affected areas.
The heavy rains, caused by two tropical storms, triggered landslides and caused rivers to overflow, sweeping away entire homes as well as roads and cars.
María Salas, 49, lost five members of her family when their home collapsed in Huauchinango, a town in the mountains in the north of Puebla state. She described her despair, stating, 'I can't get my belongings, I can't sleep there. I have nothing.'
In response to the disaster, President Sheinbaum visited shelters in Huauchinango and assured residents that assistance would be provided for rebuilding their homes.
Over 100 small communities remain isolated, with destruction of power supplies and communication lines further complicating the recovery efforts. Emergency services are working tirelessly to restore access and provide necessary aid.
The Mexican government has mobilized its military to assist in search and rescue operations as communities begin to recover from this devastating event.
