		</div><p>At least seven people have died and hundreds have been evacuated in El Salvador as the first tropical storm of the Eastern Pacific season drenched parts of Central America, officials said.</p>
<p>El Salvador President Nayib Bukele decreed a 15-day state of emergency to deal with the rains that began pounding the country on Friday ahead of Tropical Storm Amanda’s landfall on Sunday.</p>
<p>Interior Minister Mario Duran said the country was “facing a critical situation”.</p>
<p>He added: “The situation in all of the country and especially in the metropolitan area of San Salvador is grave.”</p>
<p>The storm had maximum sustained winds of 40 miles per hour when it hit on Sunday morning, but soon dissipated as it moved overland.</p>
<p>By Friday evening it was about 100 miles north-east of Guatemala City, according to the US National Hurricane Centre.</p>
<p>Forecasters said that even though it had dissipated heavy rains could continue to fall over parts of El Salvador, Guatemala, western Honduras and south-eastern Mexico over the next few days.</p>
<p>El Salvador’s Civil Defence agency said at least seven people had died in the flooding, including an 8-year-old child.</p>
<p>San Salvador mayor Ernesto Muyshondt said 50 houses had been destroyed in the capital as rivers overflowed.</p>
<p>Amanda could dump 10 to 15 inches of rain over El Salvador, southern Guatemala, western Honduras and south-eastern Mexico, with lesser accumulations over parts of Nicaragua and Belize.</p>
