JAKARTA - At least 42 people were killed and 27 others are still missing after heavy rains caused severe flooding in some areas of Mexico, authorities said on Saturday.
In a statement, Mexico's National Civil Protection Coordination (CNPC) said heavy rains had caused catastrophic flooding in the states of Veracruz, Puebla, Hidalgo, Queretaro, and San Luis Potosi.
Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum held a virtual meeting with governors of the five worst-affected states to coordinate emergency response efforts.
No casualties will be left unassisted. Teams and officials from the federal government have been deployed to reopen roads and send aid to the public, Sheinbaum said after the meeting.

Authorities fear the situation could worsen due to landslides on the slopes and overflowing rivers, which have exacerbated damage.
Heavy rains continue in many affected areas, where roads, highways, and houses are still flooded.
