Officials say at least 29 people are dead and 14 others are missing because of heavy rains in Honduras.
The rains began nearly two weeks ago in this Central American nation. The Honduran government says nearly 20,000 people are in shelters and more than 40,000 have been evacuated from their homes.
Safe drinking water is scarce in some communities, and thousands of acres of bananas, coffee and other crops are under water.
More than 200 highways and 100 bridges are damaged.
Landslides in western Honduras buried 40 homes. No one was injured because the area had been evacuated after another landslide blocked a river, creating a sudden lake.
It is the worst flooding in Honduras since Hurricane Mitch killed thousands in 1998.
