After Hurricane Agatha hit Mexico, the death toll has risen to at least 11.

As the authorities in the southern Mexican state of Oaxaca announced on Wednesday, more than 30 people are still missing.

Shortly after the storm, there was talk of ten dead and 20 missing.

Oaxaca Governor Alejandro Murat said there were 33 missing along the coast in addition to the 11 deaths.

Two people, aged 18 and 21, died when part of a hill collapsed in the town of Santa Catarina Xanaguia, according to civil defense officials.

A woman was killed and her son injured in a landslide in Llano del Chillar.

"Agatha" made landfall on the Mexican mainland near the town of Puerto Ángel in Oaxaca on Monday as a level two hurricane.

This is the second weakest level on the five-point Saffir-Simpson scale.

Agatha weakened to a tropical storm over southern Mexico.

Agatha was the first storm of Mexico's hurricane season.

The country is regularly hit by tropical cyclones from both the Pacific and the Atlantic between May and November.

Last year, Hurricane Grace also killed eleven people in the states of Veracruz and Puebla.
