Guest guest Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 29 December 2005, 08:39 GMT Yemen landslide kills 30 people At least 30 people are dead and many more are missing after a landslide destroyed a mountainside village in Yemen, government officials have said. Around 30 houses were swept away in the village of Dhafeer, about 20km (12 miles) south-west of the capital Sanaa. Another 10 people with injuries have been taken to hospital. Police have cordoned off the area and are searching for survivors. Interior Minister Rashad al-Eleimi visited the village to monitor the search. A government official said large rocks tumbled down the mountain destroying the houses below. Landslides are uncommon in Yemen but the country is prone to floods in spring and summer. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/middle_east/4565970.stm Dear List, Dasha: Ve/Ju/Ve/Ra/Me.
