<p>Heavy rains and flooding in Panama have killed 10 people and forced more than 4,700 from their homes. </p>
<p>Panama Civil Protection System officials said more than 450 homes have been destroyed this week.</p>
<p>President Ricardo Martinelli said he will declare a national state of emergency allowing the government to mobilise more resources for affected areas.</p>
<p>The rains forced the temporary closure of the Panama Canal from Wednesday into Thursday, the first suspension since a shutdown when U.S. troops invaded 21 years ago to topple President Manuel Noriega. </p>
<p>This week&#8217;s closure was the first ever for weather reasons since the canal opened in 1914.</p>
