A landslide in Las Tejerias, a city in Venezuela, has destroyed hundreds of homes and left a death toll of at least 36 as of Tuesday afternoon.
“We have not experienced a landslide of such magnitude in Venezuela in many years,” President Nicolas Maduro told Venezolana de Televisión 360 on Monday when he visited the area.
According to AFP, this landslide occurred on Saturday and has already become the worst natural disaster in Venezuela of the century. Maduro said authorities counted almost 400 houses that had been completely destroyed and 400 more with some damage.
