After heavy rains, a hillside in the poor La Paz barrio of Callapa continues to collapse, destroying at least 400 homes...and now leaving 100,000 without water.
No fatalities were reported there but at least 5,000 people were affected in an area covering 200 to 250 acres (80 to 100 hectares). Thousands are housed in schools and on soccer fields.
Five people also died in La Paz after their minibus was swept away by a river.
An official called it the worst landslide La Paz has ever experienced and said the earth was still moving downhill.
There have been 44 deaths in Bolivia from recent heavy rains.
