Tabasco Flood Help - Race to save Mexico flood victims
More than one million people are believed to be affected, with 300,000 thought to be trapped in their homes and more rain forecast in coming days. Most of the state is under water and its governor has urged anyone who owns a boat to help the rescue operation.
President Felipe Calderon said the situation was "extraordinarily grave".
"It's one of the worst natural disasters in the history of the country," he said in a televised address on Thursday night. |
