At least 36 people have died in landslides in Indonesia, which hit an
area of central Java after hours of heavy rain, officials have said.

Rescue workers say the death toll is likely to rise, with varying
reports saying 50 to 60 people are buried.

Rescue workers and police are struggling to reach the affected areas
as roads are cut off.

Heavy rains regularly cause landslides and flash floods in Indonesia.
Many experts say deforestation is to blame.
