25 people have been killed and more than 50 are still missing after landslides swept away their homes in Venezuela.
About 1,000 emergency personnel are taking part in search and rescue operations.
Torrential rainfall caused the river El Pato to burst its banks. The resulting floodwaters swept away, trees, cars, houses and shops in the town, some 50km south-west of the capital, Caracas.
On the walls of the houses, thick mud showed how high the floodwaters had risen.
