A huge landslide triggered by the heaviest rainfall in Ecuador for almost 20 years has killed at least 22 people in the capital Quito.

Mud and rocks were carried down the slopes of the nearby Pichincha volcano. A recreation ground and eight houses were engulfed, and cars swept away.

At least 47 people were injured, and 20 are missing after Monday's landslide.

Weather experts said the amount of rain that hit the mountain was almost 40 times more than had been forecast.
