Indonesia resumes search for dozens missing in deadly landslide

Indonesian rescuers resumed searching on Sunday for around 80 people missing in a deadly landslide, after operations had to be suspended overnight due to harsh weather.



Triggered by heavy rain, the landslide barrelled into villages in Java's West Bandung region early Saturday morning, burying residential areas.



At least 11 people were killed and around 80 are still missing, many feared buried under mud, rocks and uprooted trees.



About 230 residents living near the site have been evacuated to temporary government shelters.



Videos released on Saturday by the country's search and rescue agency, known as Basarnas, showed rescuers using farm tools and bare hands to pull a mud-caked body from the ground and placing it in an orange bag to take away for burial.
