Mexico's Flood Victims Wait for Aid Reuters
Mexican President Felipe Calderon, who visited the flood-hit state of Tabasco over the weekend, unveiled plans for damage repair in the waterlogged region.
Calderon called the flood, which affected around half the state's 2 million residents, one of the worst natural catastrophes in Mexico's modern history.
Only one death has been reported in Tabasco, although in the poor southern state of Chiapas, local government officials reported four fatalities on Sunday after rain-swollen rivers burst their banks, damaging thousands of homes and many bridges.
