Mount Maunganui, New Zealand: A landslide smashed into a campsite in rain-swept northern New Zealand on Thursday, leaving multiple people missing under tonnes of mud.
Mounds of earth buried a shower block at the site, which lies at the foot of extinct volcano Mount Maunganui.
Voices were briefly heard calling for help from beneath the rubble, witnesses and emergency officials said.
"Whilst the land's still moving there, they're in a rescue mission," Assistant Police Commissioner Tim Anderson told reporters at the scene.
"I can't be drawn on numbers. What I can say is that it is single figures."
