GUATEMALA CITY (Reuters) - One month after Guatemala's Fuego volcano violently erupted, killing more than 100 people, the country's disaster agency has raised the number of missing by more than two thirds to 332 people.

Authorities scoured records from hospitals, shelters, schools and an online registry as well as Guatemala's utility company and health ministry to update the tally, disaster agency CONRED said in a statement on Wednesday.
