Several houses were buried when a part of the hill surrounding the village collapsed, sending mud and boulders cascading down the houses. Witnesses said the landslide happened very fast and some of the residents were unable to escape. 

Rescue teams are still digging through the mud and debris but the rest of the emergency response crews are having a hard time reaching the area as the highway leading to the village is still covered in mud, littered with vehicles and other debris.
