Colombia, Venezuela floods death toll exceeds 80

The death toll from flooding in Colombia and Venezuela grew to more than 80 on Monday as rescue workers found more corpses, the two countries' governments said.

Most of the dead had drowned in shanty towns built near rivers swollen with mountain runoff after nonstop rain, mainly in the Colombian provinces of Santander and Norte de Santander and in Venezuela's state of Merida. Many victims were children.

"This has been very unusual. It doesn't rain like this normally at this time of year," said the head of the Colombian government's emergency office, Eduardo Jose Gonzalez.

The death toll rose to 33 in Colombia and past 50 in Venezuela, where flooded rivers were hampering rescue efforts and attempts to recover bodies. A total of about 64 had been reported dead in the neighboring countries on Sunday.

Floodwaters forced 40,000 Colombians to flee and destroyed 5,000 homes, and the government said it would send emergency funds to help rebuild homes for those displaced.

Authorities were clearing scores of landslides and blocked roads around Santa Cruz de Mora in Venezuela and remote villages left without water, food or electricity.

Tropical wet-season landslides and floods kill shanty town inhabitants every year in Colombia and Venezuela, where authorities often fail to prevent construction on vulnerable territory.
