Mexico City - QNA
Mexican authorities say 97 people have been killed from flooding and mudslides since Hurricane Manuel lashed the Pacific coast over the weekend and Hurricane Ingrid hit the Gulf coast on Monday. President Enrique Pena Nieto has announced in a statement that he is cancelling a planned trip to the UN in New York next week to focus on relief efforts. More than 1 million people have been affected across the country, and 50,000 have been evacuated from their homes. Manuel, now a Category 1 storm, slammed the northern flank of the country just before 10 a.m. local time Thursday.
