Heavy rains have caused a hilltop to collapse in a poor district of the Bolivian capital La Paz, cracking roads, destroying at least 400 homes and burying people's belongings under mud and debris.

There were no fatalities in the landslide, but heavy rains have been blamed for 44 deaths in the country in recent weeks.
