Authorities in Indonesia say the death toll 1 in a landslide 2 in central Java Wednesday could rise above 200. The disaster comes days after floods killed at least 57 people in nearby east Java. 



Rescuers and people from neighboring villages search among the wreckage 3 of Cijeruk village for survivors 4 after tons of mud buried the village in Banjarnegara district, Central Java, Indonesia Wednesday Jan. 4, 2006   
  
Rescuers are scrambling 5 to reach people trapped under heavy mud and debris 6 in the mountainside village of Cijeruk, in central Java. The landslide happened early Wednesday morning when most residents were either still asleep or performing morning prayers at the mosque 7.


Heavy downpours in recent days have caused flash floods and landslides 8 in other parts of Indonesia this week. Rescuers are still searching for survivors from Monday's flash floods in east Java, which killed at least 57 people and left thousands homeless.


Hadi Kuswoyo, spokesman for the Indonesian Red Cross, says damaged roads and bridges are hampering 9 rescue and relief operations in the affected 10 areas. He says hygiene 11 kits 12, blankets and medicines have been sent but more aid may be needed.


Mr. Kuswoyo says the Red Cross had tried to plan for disasters like these in the rainy season but the preparations have not been enough.


"In the last two months, the Indonesian Red Cross has coordinated 13 with some agencies including the national disaster response of the government to identify some potential areas affected by the floods in the rainy season," he said. "But of course we never expect this will happen, that we will have a disaster like this. We can only identify and try to mitigate 14 and also to educate the people in the dangerous areas."


Floods and landslides are common in Indonesia during the rainy season. However, some environmental groups blame recent disasters on deforestation caused by illegal logging.
