The death toll from devastating landslides in western Japan rose to 42 on Saturday, as rescuers worked around the clock to comb through destroyed houses in a search for survivors. Local police said that at least 43 people were still missing in Hiroshima, where heavy rain triggered landslides early Wednesday that swallowed dozens of homes. Confusion has reigned over the number of people potentially trapped in the debris as authorities continue to receive new reports of missing people. Local officials fear even more people could be unaccounted for, buried by the mud and not yet reported missing.
