At least 27 people have died after a landslide at an illegal gold mine on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia.
About fifteen people are still reported missing, but the rescue operation has been discontinued.
Today is the last day, says a representative of the rescue operation to the news agency AFP, and emphasizes that they will initiate an evacuation operation if they find signs of life from the missing persons.
Hundreds of police officers and soldiers assisted with the rescue operation, which was hindered by heavy rain that blocked roads with thick mud and debris.
Unlicensed mines are common in Indonesia, where abandoned sites attract local residents to hunt for leftover gold ore without proper safety equipment.
