In Colombia, more than 230 people have died in mudslides and an avalanche after the city Mocoa received as much rainfall in one night as it usually receives in half the month of March. Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos pinned the disaster on climate change. Meanwhile, nearly a dozen people are feared to be dead on the Indonesian island of Java after torrential rain triggered a landslide there. And in Australia, three people have been killed, and tens of thousands displaced, by floodwaters after a cyclone swept across the island’s east coast.
