145 Feared Dead in Colombian Landslide

As a result of El Nino weather effects, Colombia has been dealing with torrential downpour throughout the area. This downpour caused massive landslides to occur. Twenty three bodies have been recovered, but 100 are feared trapped or dead. A few residents of the area claimed that this was a previously known risk. As a country that regularly deals with landslides, the residents of this incident were underneath a large pile of dirt and rubble. The governing body didn't do anything to reduce the risk, and now the people are suffering large amounts of loss.
