Bolivia flooding kills 3 people, 7 missing

Seven people are missing and three dead Tuesday after rains caused flooding in the Entre Rios area of southeastern Bolivia. Most of those missing are children from the town of Guaraní de Timboy. 

The torrential downpour occurred Sunday causing the Pilcomayo River and its tributaries to overflow their banks covering whole houses with mud and leaving vegetation throughout the affected area. Authorities report that 10 municipalities in the region were damaged with civil defense units reaching those locals Tuesday with supplies of food and water.
