Landslides have killed at least 92 people in south-west Colombia and left many more injured.

Hours of heavy rains overnight caused rivers to burst their banks, flooding homes with mud in Putumayo province.

An unknown number of people are missing. One army officer said the main local hospital was struggling to cope.

President Juan Manuel Santos, who is travelling to the area, said troops had been deployed as part of a national emergency response.

The region's governor, Sorrel Aroca, told Colombian media that whole neighbourhoods had been buried.

Why would missing people cause a hospital to struggle?
