Rescue efforts are underway in Indonesia's Sulawesi island after a devastating landslide struck an unauthorized gold mining area, claiming the lives of at least 23 individuals. The tragic incident occurred in the remote village of Bone Bolango, where over 100 villagers were engaged in gold mining activities when tons of mud cascaded down the hills, burying their makeshift camps.
Search and rescue teams have been tirelessly working to locate dozens of missing individuals amidst the rubble. The challenging terrain, heavy rains, and unstable soil have posed significant obstacles to the rescue operation. Despite the adverse conditions, rescuers managed to recover additional bodies on Tuesday, bringing the total number of confirmed fatalities to 23.
