**Three days of national mourning have begun in El Salvador following the deaths of at least 130 people in floods and landslides.**Thousands are living in shelters as a result of the disaster and large parts of the country are without electricity and clean water.
The areas around the capital, San Salvador, and the central province of San Vicente were hit hardest.
President Mauricio Funes has declared a national emergency.
At least 49 of the dead are believed to be children.
In the town of Verapaz in San Vicente, soldiers and civilians have been searching debris left by a landslide for dozens of missing people.
A torrent of mud and boulders from the Chichontepec volcano hit the town on Sunday, wrecking 300 homes and burying cars.
President Funes visited Verapaz and spoke to some of the 800 residents who have been moved to emergency shelters.
The BBC’s weather centre says the disastrous rains were mainly caused by a low pressure system in the Pacific, which was linked indirectly to Hurricane Ida.
Ida, which passed the country three days ago, was downgraded to a tropical storm as it crossed the Gulf of Mexico on Monday.
