On Thursday, the death toll from a landslide that occurred in Indonesia as a result of heavy rains rose to 22 people, and four people are still missing while relief teams continue searching amid the mud and debris.
Heavy rains in a mountainous area near the city of Pekalongan in Central Java state led to a landslide on Monday.

The head of the search and rescue agency in the neighboring city of Semarang said: “The toll reached 22 dead and four people are still missing.”
The teams use heavy machinery to open roads to enable relief teams to arrive, and about 200 rescue personnel were sent to participate in the efforts, according to local official Muhammad Yulian Akbar.
Indonesia usually experiences landslides during the rainy season between November and April, but some weather-related disasters have occurred outside this season in recent years.
