A landslide destroyed a remote village in Indonesia, killing at least 17 people, an official said on Saturday as rescuers used their bare hands and sticks to search through the mud for scores of missing in the absence of heavy lifting equipment.
Hundreds have been evacuated from around Jemblung in the Banjarnegara regency of central Java, about 450 km (280 miles) from the capital, Jakarta, where media pictures showed a flood of orange mud and water cascading down a wooded mountainside after Friday's disaster.
Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman for the National Disaster Mitigation Agency, said 17 people had been killed, 15 rescued, 91 were missing and 423 people from the surrounding areas had been taken to temporary shelters.
