1,500 Rescue Workers Search for Survivors in Japanese Landslide
Voice of America
Four people have been found dead in the aftermath of a landslide in the Japanese resort city of Atami, officials said.
By Monday, roughly 1,500 emergency workers were digging through rubble in a neighborhood of the central seaside city, desperately searching for survivors. Saturday's landslide was triggered by several days of torrential rain, which forecasters said was more rainfall than Atami usually records for the entire month of July. Roughly 80 people are still missing, though authorities are still trying to confirm their whereabouts and are hoping that some were elsewhere during the disaster.More Related News
