The region has been pounded by heavy rains for several days, which on Thursday 16 June caused large portions of the Calvario Hill to slide onto houses in eight communities in the municipality of San Antonio Senahu, in the department of Alta Verapaz. This region is located some 250 kilometres north of Guatemala City.
