More than 23,000 people have been evacuated from their homes since an initial landslide on April 28, which blocked a tunnel used to regulate water flow between the dam’s spillway and the Cauca river in northwestern Colombia. The incident briefly caused the river to burst its banks, destroying bridges, medical centers, schools and dozens of houses. Around 600 people have been left homeless, newspaper El Espectador reported.
