Villagers in a remote area of Sudan’s western Darfur region are trying to reach buried victims by hand after a devastating landslide on Sunday, aid group Save the Children says.

“People are excavating by hand to rescue the bodies of their relatives since there are no tools or machinery”, Francesco Lanino, the group’s deputy Sudan director for programmes and operations, said.

It is unclear how many people died. Figures range from as high as 1,000 from an armed group in charge of the area, to a figure from the national health ministry that says only two bodies have been recovered.

Save the Children said at least 373 bodies had been recovered, according to the head of the Civil Authority.
