Report: Massive landslide hits Bolivian capital

Late February, a seismic wave caused a mudslide to occur in La Paz, the Bolivian Capital. The mudslide caused tremendous damage to homes, buildings and roads and left 800 families homeless. ABI news didn't report any injuries or deaths.
During a visit at a school that served as a shelter Sunday night, Vice resident Alvaro Garcia Linera pledged that the government would help victims rebuild. "Many of you have lost the homes that you spent so much time and effort building, and I want to tell you that we are not going to abandon you," he said, according to ABI. 
Its awful to hear about natural phenomenon that causes many people suffering. But luckily it didn't harm anyone and it looks like Bolivian government is determined to help the people who have lost their homes and ensure that they will soon be living in their own homes again.
