Rescue teams are looking for survival in a hilly area in Brazil, where the landslide killed 10 people, among whom at least one child was believed to be among them. The slide occurred in the region of the country's largest city, Rio de Janeiro, in the early hours of Saturday, two days after constant rainfall.
A large piece of soil slipped and picked up several houses in the town of Niero, as local firefighters claimed. Many volunteers have joined firemen and police personnel in creating a chain to remove mud and broken pieces of walls. The network of news “Globo” reported that rescue teams are working quietly so that they can hear any voice of people left confined.
In addition, several light poles were assembled so that the search can continue overnight until Sunday morning. Local media reported that 11 people have been rescued so far, including two children. Most were found with the help of dogs trained for sniffing. It is believed that in addition to houses, among the earth - occupied objects was a pizza.
Land slides and floods are frequent in Brazil. The deadliest slide had occurred in 2011, when nearly 1,000 people had died from landslides in many countries, writes “BBC.
