Chile floods leave millions of people without drinking water in Santiago

Heavy rain during usually dry summer months causes landslides and flooding, leaving three dead and 19 missing

Millions of people are without water after heavy rains struck Chile over the weekend during the country's usually dry summer months, leaving three people dead and at least 19 missing.

The rains, which caused rivers to overflow their banks in mountain valleys near Chile's capital, Santiago, had isolated 373 people, the Onemi emergency service said late on Sunday.
