Emergency workers in Ecuador said several landslides had blocked or swept away streets, slowing rescue efforts as the downpour continued
A landslide surged over a highway in central Ecuador on Sunday, killing at least six people and leaving 30 others missing, authorities said as heavy rains pummeled the country and caused rivers to overflow.
Deputy fire chief Capt. Angel Barriga told The Associated Press that rescuers were treating nine injured and had retrieved six bodies from the disaster site, while 30 more people were believed to be trapped by the mud. Heavy rains have drenched Ecuador and other parts of the region over the past several days, with a landslide killing two children in El Salvador earlier this week.
