Indonesia Landslide Kills Six
  • 14 years ago
Villagers gather at the site of a deadly landslide in a tea-growing area of Indonesia's West Java.

They search for survivors as well as victims trapped amid the rubble.

Early reports say at least six people have been killed and more than 40 others are still buried.

Rescue efforts have been hampered by cut-off roads, delaying the movement of heavy equipment into the area to clear the landslide.

Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes due to the worst flooding in years in Bandung, with many forced to take shelter in tents.

Landslides are common during the Indonesian rainy season, but some of the damage has been blamed on illegal logging.
