Three days of heavy rains in El Salvador touched off floods and slides that have killed at least 91 people, the government has said.

Dozens are still missing, and about 7,000 are in shelters, Interior Minister Humberto Centeno told a news conference.

Authorities had to use helicopters to reach some of the most severely affected townships, Centeno added.
