Landslide in Colombia

A landslide caused by heavy rains in a mountainous region of central Colombia killed at least 12 people and destroyed several houses. The disaster took place in Quetame, a municipality southeast of the capital, Bogotá.

Major transport links have been badly affected such as a national highway connecting the capital Bogota with Villavicencio, the capital of Meta province, an important region for agriculture.

Rescue teams from the Civil Defense, the Red Cross, firefighters and members of the military continue to search for the missing between the mud and rubble.

Landslides are common in Colombia due to the mountainous terrain and frequent heavy rains.
