Indonesian rescuers fear nearly 30 buried in Java landslide
Indonesian rescuers look for survivors after a landslide hit Banaran village in Ponorogo, East Java
Jakarta - Arab today
Indonesian rescuers, joined by police and soldiers, found one body and continued to look for 28 other people feared to be buried after a landslide triggered by heavy rain on Indonesia's Java island, a spokesman for the national disaster agency said.
The mud and debris from Saturday's landslide in a village in the Ponorogo area of East Java had engulfed more than 20 houses after sliding 800 metres (875 yards) down a hillside, National Disaster Management Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said.
Some of the victims were believed to include a group harvesting a crop of ginger in fields around the village, he said.
Seventeen people had been injured and were being treated at a community health centre.
Rescue efforts were hampered by people flocking to the area to see the landslide and causing traffic jams, he said earlier.
The local disaster mitigation agency had warned of the risk of a landslide due to recent rain, and some people had only returned to the village on Saturday after staying the night in a shelter, said the official

Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
