The aftermath of the torrential rains on the island of Java, Indonesia, is tragic, as they triggered a devastating landslide.

According to the latest update from authorities, 21 people have lost their lives, while rescue crews are still searching for survivors.

Heavy rains in a mountainous area near the city of Pekalongan, in Central Java, caused a landslide on Monday, leading to the collapse of bridges and burying homes and vehicles under mud.

“As of this morning, we have found 21 deceased and are still looking for five individuals,” said Budiono (who, like many in Indonesia, uses only one name), the head of the search and rescue agency in the neighboring city of Semarang.

In the village of Kasibar, the hardest-hit area, heavy equipment is being used to search the rubble of a local official’s home and a café where more victims are believed to be trapped. These individuals had reportedly sought shelter there from the rain.

“We are focusing our search efforts on two locations and the nearby river, as victims may have been swept away by the water,” Budiono added.

The number of injured from the landslide has reached at least 13, according to the search and rescue agency.

Landslides are common in Indonesia during the rainy season, which lasts from November to April, though they can also occur outside of this period. The phenomenon has been exacerbated in certain areas due to deforestation.
