TUXTLA GUTIÉRREZ, (Mexico): Torrential rains and a bitter cold front linked to strong storm Eta have claimed at least 20 lives in the southern Mexican state of Chiapas, officials said Saturday.

The government of Chiapas — which borders Guatemala, where about 150 people are dead or missing in the wake of the storm — said 10 bodies were found in the river in the town of Chenalho.—AFP
