A landslide in Venezuela has left at least 25 people dead and more than 50 missing after a river overflowed, officials have said, in the latest deadly disaster caused by heavy rains to hit the country.
Dozens of people have died in recent months in the crisis-hit South American nation as a result of historically high levels of rain.
"There was a record rainfall," he added as he surveyed the disaster site - as much rain in one day as is usually seen in a month.
The landslide, caused by the biggest river flood in the area in 30 years, is the worst so far this year in Venezuela, which has seen historic rain levels in recent months.
