Flood in Panama

Large areas of Panama are underwater following days of torrential rains caused by Hurricane Eta.

Landslides closed many roads in Chiriqui, a province in Panama that borders Costa Rica. At least eight people were reported missing in the area.

More than 200 residents of Panamas' Ngabe Bugle autonomous Indigenous area were flooded out of their homes.
