Two victims of a major Central Java landslide identified as Latif, 30, and Karsiah, 41, have been found in recent days in Jemblung hamlet, Sampang village, Karangkobar district, Banjarnegara regency, Central Java.
Both of the victims, who lived in Jemblung, were found by local residents who have been searching for landslide victims for the past two months. Latif’s body was found on Saturday and Karsiah’s on Wednesday.
The search and rescue team and volunteers have so far found 101 victims. Seven victims remain missing.
“Both bodies were found in poor condition and were identified by the clothes they were wearing,” Banjarnegara Disaster Mitigation Agency (BPBD) member Andri Sulistyo said on Thursday.
The massive landslide hit Jemblung hamlet on Dec. 12 last year. As many as 108 residents were buried alive and 35 homes were destroyed. Around 250 survivors from Jemblung are still living in shelters and waiting to be relocated, as promised by the regency administration
