Mexicans mourning

-

RESCUERS pulled bodies from the rubble and grieving families carried coffins through the streets at the weekend after Mexico’s biggest earthquake in a century killed 65 people, while elsewhere two died in mudslides unleashed by storm Katia.

Officials raised the death toll from last Thursday night’s quake as more bodies were found in the southern states of Oaxaca and Chiapas.

In the town of Juchitan, Oaxaca, hundreds of families spent the night camped in the streets, too scared to go back inside for fear of aftershock­s.
