Heavy downpours are lashing South Korea for a ninth day as rescue workers struggle to search for survivors in the most destructive storm to hit the country this year.
People watch their collapsed houses after a landslide caused by heavy rain in Yecheon, South Korea, Sunday, July 16, 2023. Days of heavy rain triggered flash floods and landslides and destroyed homes, leaving scores of people dead and forcing thousands to evacuate, officials said Sunday.
In the central city of Cheongju, hundreds of rescue workers, including divers, continued to search for survivors in a muddy tunnel where about 15 vehicles, including a bus, got trapped in a flash flood that may have filled up the passageway within minutes Saturday evening. As of Monday afternoon, rescue workers had pumped out most of the water from the tunnel and were searching the site on foot, a day after they used rubber boats to move and transport bodies on stretchers.
Photos from the scene showed fire and police officers using search dogs while wading through knee-high mud and debris from destroyed homes.
