AT LEAST 80 people have been killed after days of torrential rain triggered landslides in the central Java region of Indonesia.
Thousands more have been forced to seek shelter after their homes were buried or washed away in mudslides, which some blame on deforestation.
Hundreds of soldiers, police and volunteers were trying to get heavy-lifting equipment to affected villages on the main island of Java, but blocked roads were hampering their efforts...
...A lack of heavy equipment was slowing rescue efforts, officials said.
