LANDSLIDE FORCES 90 PEOPLE TO EVACUATE
Manado, N Sulawesi, Nov 23 (ANTARA) - Local authorities have evacuated some 70 people to a school building after a landslide hit the hilly village of Kombos Timur in the North Sulawesi provincial capital of Manado.
"The move is aimed at preventing local people from falling victim to a further landslide because of high rainfalls in the city in the past few days," Head of the Manado Social Service J Kowaas said on Sunday.
A landslide triggered by two days of rains destroyed a house in the village, he said.
