A landslide caused by heavy rains after a prolonged drought in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, flooded dozens of homes early Sunday, local authorities said. It swept away a young girl, spurred evacuations, and left parts of the city without electricity.
“I lost my workshop and the cars that I had there are buried,” said auto mechanic Luis Mencias, his voice shaking as he surveyed the sea of debris. The mayor of La Paz, Iván Arias, directly blamed the poor construction of houses perched on the hillside without permits.
