    Indonesia landslide deaths climb to 21; dozens still missing

    Jakarta: Rescuers recovered more bodies buried under tons of mud from a landslide that crashed onto a hilly village on Indonesia’s remote Natuna islands, bringing the death toll to 21, officials said. The landslide, triggered by torrential downpours, plunged down surrounding hills on Monday, burying 30 houses in Genting village on a tiny remote island in the Natuna archipelago at the edge of the South China Sea, according to Associated Press (AP).

    Authorities have deployed more than 200 rescuers from the search and rescue agency, police and military to search for 33 people still missing who were apparently trapped in houses that were buried under the landslide, which was 4 meters deep, it said. Eight people were pulled out alive with injuries, three of whom are in critical condition, National Disaster Management Agency chief Suharyanto said.

    The search and rescue operation has been hampered by heavy rains around the disaster site. Weather has forced the search effort to be halted several times, while downed communications lines and electricity are also impeding the operation, said Suharyanto. “We are doing our best to find the missing victims,” Suharyanto said, adding that sniffer dogs are also being mobilized in the search. Monday’s landslide displaced about 1,300 people who were taken to four temporary shelters, Suharyanto added.

    Authorities feared the death toll could still rise. Seasonal rains and high tides in recent days have caused dozens of landslides and widespread flooding across much of Indonesia.
