Local reports say more than 40 others are still buried beneath the mud.

Villagers gathered at the site of a deadly landslide.

They searched for survivors and victims trapped amid the rubble.  

Cut-off roads have delayed the movement of heavy equipment into the area to help clear the landslide.

Thousands of people have been evacuated from their homes on West Java, due to the worst flooding in years.

Many people have been forced to take shelter in tents.

Landslides are common during the Indonesian rainy season,

But some of the damage this season is being blamed on illegal logging.
