The Venezuelan state of Mérida was hit hard after heavy rains battered the area, causing rivers to overflow, Reuters reported on Thursday.
A ruling Socialist Party official announced the death toll on Wednesday, after Merida’s governor Ramón Guevara detailed the extent of damage to homes and businesses.
