Guatemala Death Toll from Volcano at 99 as Hope Fades for the Missing
---------------------------------------------------------------------

In Guatemala, the death toll from a volcanic eruption near Guatemala
City has risen to 99, as hope fades for the nearly 200 people who remain
missing. Guatemala's government says some 4,000 people are living in
shelters after lava and ash destroyed homes and engulfed whole villages.
This is survivor Amilcar Ajacabon.

Amilcar Ajacabon: "This is just going to be a cemetery, because San
Miguel de Los Lotes is gone. So, those souls, those victims, they're
right there. They're buried."
