Search teams use excavator ay Malaysia landslide site

Search and rescue workers continued working at the site of a landslide in Malaysia on Saturday, where the bodies of a mother and her son were found. The discovery raises the death toll to 23 with 10 others still missing. The two bodies were found buried under a meter of mud and debris.

Authorities said 94 people were sleeping at the camping site on an organic farm early Friday when the dirt tumbled from a road about 30 meters above them and covered about 3 acres. Most were families enjoying a short vacation during the yearend school break.

The 23 victims included six children and 13 women. Seven people were hospitalized and dozens more, including three Singaporeans, were rescued unharmed.
