indonesian landslide destroys village
Quote:Original Posted By ►
A landslide destroyed a village in
Indonesia , killing at least 11 people, an
official said on Saturday, as rescuers
used their bare hands to search through
the rain and mud for 108 missing
people.
Hundreds were evacuated from around
Jemblung in Banjarnegara, central Java,
about 280 miles from the capital,
Jakarta, where media pictures showed a
flood of mud and water cascading down
a wooded mountainside. The landslide
hit on Friday night.
Landslides and mudslides are common
in Indonesia during the monsoon
season, which usually runs from
October until April.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for
the National Disaster Mitigation Agency,
said 11 people had been killed and 379
people from the surrounding areas had
been taken to temporary shelters.
“Jemblung village was the most
affected,” he said in a statement.
“Rescuers are still trying to find more
victims. The challenge is that the
evacuation route is also damaged by the
landslide.”
The rescue team, which included police,
military and local volunteers, were
using their bare hands to search for
people and clear the area but further
rain was making the search difficult.
“There was a roaring sound like
thunder,” Imam, who lives in a
neighbouring village, told television.
“Then I saw trees were flying and then
the landslides.
“People here also panicked and fled,” he
added.
Delaying rescue efforts was a lack of
heavy equipment, Nugroho added, while
media showed power lines and houses
buried under the mud.
