Hundreds Feared Dead Following Landslide in Indonesia

HeadlineJan 04, 2006

In Indonesia, hundreds of people are feared to be dead following a landslide that has buried dozens of homes in a village in the country’s Central Java. Authorities say the bodies of 16 people have already been recovered in the village of Sijeruk. The landslide slammed into the village Tuesday following days of monsoon rains that have already killed at least 60 people and left thousands homeless. Environmental groups say the disasters have been worsened by rampant deforestation caused by un-regulated logging and farming.
