The death toll from a landslide in Indonesia has climbed to 74, authorities said Friday, extending the search for missing people and bodies nearly two weeks since it began.
Heavy rain triggered the landslide that tore through a mountain village in Java’s West Bandung region on January 24, burying dozens of homes and displacing hundreds.
Thousands of rescuers, supported by police, military and volunteers, have been digging through mud and debris manually and using heavy equipment.
The local search and rescue agency said 74 victims had been identified.
