Six people died during a flash flood and landslide in Wonosobo, Central Java on Sunday.
According to the spokesman for the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB), Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a joint search and rescue team from the local mitigation agency, the military, police and local people found five more bodies on Monday.
Five others are still missing and 627 people were displaced by the natural disaster and are taking shelter at the village meeting center.
“The missing victims might be buried under the mud,” Sutopo said.
A flash flood and landslide swept away 13 houses in Tieng village, Wonosobo on Sunday afternoon and damaged seven houses.
A survivor, Romdhon, said the disaster occurred during heavy rain.
“My mother and I were outside our home, while my father was inside,” he said. “All of sudden mud covered our house and swept it away.”
His father still has not been found.
