A massive landslide in Sudan’s Central Darfur region has destroyed Tarasin village, killing at least 1,000 people.

Devastating Landslide Claims Over 1,000 Lives in Sudan's Darfur

Sudan Darfur Landslide: 1,000+ Victims

A massive landslide in Sudan&rsquo;s Central Darfur region has destroyed Tarasin village, killing at least 1,000 people.

A devastating landslide wiped out a village in Sudan's western region of Darfur, killing at least 1,000 people in one of the deadliest natural disasters in the African country's recent history, a rebel group controlling the area said late Monday.
The tragedy happened Sunday in the Tarasin village in Central Darfur's Marrah Mountains after days of heavy rainfall in late August, the Sudan Liberation Movement-Army said in a statement.
&ldquo;Initial information indicates the death of all village residents, estimated to be more than one thousand people. Only one person survived,&rdquo; the statement read.
The village was &ldquo;completely levelled to the ground,&rdquo; the group said, appealing to the UN and international aid groups for help to recover the bodies.

Mannagudda Landslide Disrupts Highway, Traffic Rerouted

A landslide disrupted NH 75 traffic in Kadaba. Traffic rerouting is underway, using state and district roads to maintain flow. Heavy vehicles remain halted until debris is cleared.

A significant landslide occurred late Sunday night at Mannagudda in Kadaba taluk, causing major disruptions to traffic on National Highway 75, according to officials.
In response to the incident, traffic is being rerouted by the police through several alternative roads, effectively bypassing the segment of the highway impacted by the landslide. The authorities have also deployed earthmoving equipment to clear the debris and restore the highway for regular use.
Officials indicated that all heavy-tonnage vehicles are being redirected via state highways, while lighter vehicles are navigating through major district roads. This diversion strategy has successfully reduced travel time between Bengaluru and Mangaluru by using these inner roads.
However, vehicles with very heavy loads have been halted at the landslide area and will only be permitted to pass once the highway is cleared of debris.

Rescue teams led by NDRF continued search and rescue operations on Saturday and found the bodies of two women. Over 80 people remain missing since the landslide hit the tribal village on Wednesday.&nbsp;

Search and rescue teams on Saturday recovered two more bodies from the debris at the landslide-affected Irshalwadi village in Maharashtra's Raigad district, taking the death toll in the tragedy to 24, an official said.
Both the deceased were women, he said.
"Bodies of two women were recovered from the landslide site in Irshalwadi on Saturday morning," an official of the National Disaster Response Force (NDRF) said.
With this, the death toll in the landslide tragedy has gone up to 24, he said, adding that the search and rescue work is still underway as 84 persons are yet to be traced.
One of these two deceased women are identified as 32-year-old Mahi Madhu Tirkat, he added.
Teams of the NDRF and other government agencies resumed their search and rescue operation at the landslide site, located in hilly terrain, in the morning. This is the third day of the search operation.
The massive landslide hit Irshalwadi, a tribal village located on a hill slope in the coastal district, around 80km from Mumbai, on Wednesday night. At least 17 of 48 houses in the village were fully or partially buried under the landslide debris.
As the village, overlooked by Irshalgad fort, a popular trekking destination, does not have a pucca road, earth movers and excavators could not be easily moved and the rescue operation is being carried out manually, officials said.

A landslide fuelled by flooding and days of torrential rain swept through a town in central Venezuela, leaving at least 22 people dead as it dragged mud, rocks and trees through neighbourhoods, authorities said Sunday. Dozens of people are missing.
Residents of Las Tejerías in Santos Michelena, an agro-industrial town in Aragua state 87 kilometers southwest of Caracas, had just seconds to reach safety late Saturday as debris swept down a mountainside onto them.
The official death toll rose to 22 after the recovery of 20 bodies on Sunday, Vice President Delcy Rodríguez told state-owned Venezolana de Televisión.
“There was a large landslide in the central area of Las Tejerías” where five streams overflowed, she said from the scene of the disaster. “We have already found 22 dead people; there are more than 52 missing.” “There are still people walled in," Rodríguez said. "We are trying to rescue them, to rescue them alive.” She said shelters will be set up for people who lost their homes.
Higher on the mountainside, most of the houses were swept away, including those of a group of Evangelicals who were praying when the landslide hit, said homemaker Carmen Teresa Chirinos, a resident of Las Tejerías. Families in tears hugged in front of destroyed homes and businesses.
“There are a lot of people missing," Chirinos said.
Hours earlier, Major Gen Carlos Pérez Ampueda, the vice minister for risk management and civil protection, had said via Twitter that several people were reported missing in the El Béisbol and La Agotada neighbourhoods in the north of the town. Dozens of homes were damaged by the landslide.
Rescuers were carrying out search operations with trained dogs and drones, Pérez Ampueda said. Crews of workers and heavy machinery removed debris to clear roads and restore electricity and water services.
“So many families lost their houses and I, as a businessman, lost my pizzeria," said Luis Fuentes, who opened his pizza restaurant two years ago. “Look, I have nothing.” Aragua Governor Karina Carpio said the flood waters “terribly affected” 21 sectors in Las Tejerías, capital of the Santos Michelena municipality, which has some 54,000 inhabitants.
During the past week, torrential rains have caused flooding in 11 of Venezuela's 23 states.
President Nicolás Maduro said 20.000 officials, including rescuers and members of security forces, have been deployed to affected regions.
