Indonesia: Landslide in West Sulawesi claims 4 lives

Jakarta, Jan 28 (UNI) At least four people died, and four others were severely injured in a landslide in Mamuju regency, Indonesia's West Sulawesi province, according to the country's disaster authority on Monday.
Head of the Mamuju regional disaster mitigation agency, Taslim Sukirno, said the landslide occurred in Mamunyu village at around 11:15 p.m. local time on Sunday after heavy rain hit the region for over eight hours.
According to the authority's preliminary report, one of the killed was a one-month-old infant. The landslide also buried two houses.
"All the victims have been evacuated using stretchers and ambulances, and the injured are receiving intensive care at the Mamuju district hospital," he was quoted by local media as saying.
The official said the government had employed personnel for evacuation, but the process was difficult because the landslide debris and fallen trees blocked the access.
