Rescuers dug through rock and debris in hope of finding dozens of people missing in a mudslide, part of a wave of floods that killed at least 124 people in El Salvador.

Days of heavy rains loosened mud and boulders that rolled down the slopes of the Chichontepec volcano before dawn, burying homes and cars in Verapaz, a town of about 3,000 people 30 miles outside the capital, San Salvador.

Soldiers, emergency workers and relatives resumed a search for the missing at daybreak and military helicopters flew in food for the searchers.
