By AFPMore by this AuthorMEXICO CITYAuthorities recovered more bodies Monday from the rubble of the Mexico's huge earthquake, bringing the death toll to 96 as the president prepares to visit the worst-hit region, his office said. The latest deaths were reported in the southern state of Oaxaca, which bore the brunt of Thursday's quake and which President Enrique Pena Nieto was expected to visit on Monday. Mexican authorities gave a toll of 90 on Sunday. Pena Nieto's spokesman said the president would supervise the delivery of food aid and blankets during his trip, but did not specify where. He acknowledge that the distribution of food and shelter is complicated as both regions are mountainous and the worst-hit areas were "very difficult to reach."
