Rescuers are also working to clear the roads leading to the landslide site after multiple cave-ins.

Boulders, mud and twisted steel bars are scattered around the landslide site. Sniffer dogs are working alongside over 600 rescuers to help detect any signs of life from the debris. Dozens of excavators are digging through the pile.

Dozens of ambulances and army vehicles are on standby should anyone are uncovered from the debris.
