Indonesia landslide death toll rises to 34, dozens missing

The death toll from a landslide in Indonesia has risen to 34 with dozens still missing, days after the torrent of debris crashed through a mountain village.



Heavy rain triggered the landslide that barrelled through Pasirlangu on Saturday, severely damaging dozens of homes and displacing hundreds.



As of 7.30pm on Tuesday, 34 victims had been identified.



The number of people missing was revised down to 32, but local authorities fear the true figure could be significantly higher.



Rescuers have been scouring the unstable area in Java island's West Bandung region manually and using heavy equipment.



But they are treading carefully for fear of another landslide due to bad weather.
