Venezuela Floods Kill Dozens; Storm Triggers Deadly Mudslides in Central America
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In Venezuela, at least 36 people were killed by devastating floods over
the weekend in the north-central state of Aragua. Fifty-six people
remain missing. Venezuelan Vice President Delcy Rodríguez said the
equivalent of one month of rain fell in just eight hours. In Central
America, Tropical Storm Julia brought intense rainfall to regions
already saturated by weeks of heavy rains, triggering flooding and
mudslides that killed at least 28 people in Guatemala and El Salvador.
