Recovery of New Zealand landslide victims halted on safety concerns
SYDNEY: New Zealand authorities suspended recovery efforts on Sunday for victims of a landslide that hit a busy campground on the country’s North Island. Six people, including two teenagers, are presumed dead after heavy rains triggered Thursday’s landslide at Mount Maunganui on the island’s east coast, bringing down soil and rubble at the site in the city of Tauranga, crowded with families on summer holidays. Authorities have been working to identify the victims after human remains were found at the site on Saturday.
