The collapse of a hillside onto a town at the edge of Guatemala City has killed dozens of people. Officials say at least 600 people are believed missing. <br /><br /> Rescuers say they heard voices under collapsed homes buried under dirt and sludge. <br /><br /> “Our main priority is rescue, to take [survivors] from the rumble, the largest number of people with the hope that they survived,” said Guatemalan President Alejandro Maldonado.<br /><br /> Dozens of flimsy homes were flattened by tons of dirt and trees loosened by heavy rain. The mudslide was one of worst in recent memory in the South American nation. <br /><br /> “The houses were buried about 10-15 metres underground, which is making it difficult to carry out the search and rescue,” explained Mario Cruz, a volunteer firefighter.<br /><br /> Many survivors have been relocated to an emergency shelter where they are being given food and basic supplies.
