Flooding in central Colombia has left at least 14 people dead and over 100 persons injured in the past week.
More than 100,000 persons have also been left homeless.
Torrential rainfalls have caused the Magdalena River, the national waterway to overflow.
The flooding has flattened houses, killed animals and crops made highways impassable and isolated some villages.
The downpour has been thrashing the country for three months but the storm worsened in recent days.
