    Landslides and Flooding in Indonesia
    A landslide caused by rain fall took the lives of 18 people. The landslide occurred in the eastern parts of Indonesia on the island of Buru which is located itn the Maluku province..

    The landslide took out many homes as it traveled down the hill side.

    Heavy rainfall and lack of trees allowed the land to start sliding down. Without trees, there is nothing to hold the mud back.

    The rainfall also was the cause of floods sweeping though towns taking the lives of 3 people.

    There were over 3000 families whose lives were stricken by the flooding that started on Saturday.

    This is the time of year that landslides happen quite a lot in Indonesia. They occur the most between April and December.
