Colombia - More than six thousand families have seen their homes damaged by flooding in western Colombia, leaving so far 30 houses collapsed and forcing the evacuation of thousands now without shelter. Timbiqui and Guapi, two municipalities in the western, coastal department of Cauca, have been hit the hardest by the floods, experiencing landslides and incurring severe damages to the towns. Chuare was also hit by a landslide five days ago after the river levels rose beyond capacity, forcing many of its inhabitants to take shelter in the town chapel, which is the highest point of elevation in the small community.
