Description
ROUGH CUT - NO REPORTER NARRATION
Indonesian President Joko Widodo on Sunday (December 14) visited the scene of a landslide where he said he would assess whether more heavy-lifting equipment was needed.
Indonesian search teams on Sunday used heavy-lifting equipment for the first time to clear roads leading to the site of the landslide that destroyed a village and killed at least 24 people, officials said, with scores still missing.
Police, soldiers and volunteers were using their bare hands and makeshift tools to search for survivors and clear the area on Saturday (December 13) after the disaster happened on Friday (December 12) night.
Hundreds have been evacuated from around Jemblung village in the Banjarnegara district of central Java, about 450 km (280 miles) from the capital, Jakarta, where media pictures showed a flood of mud and water cascading down a wooded mountainside.
