KUALA LUMPUR, Dec 17 (Reuters) - Rescue teams searching for survivors from a landslide that tore though a campsite in Malaysia recovered the bodies of a woman and two children on Saturday, officials said, raising the death toll to 24.
The landslide in Batang Kali, a popular hilly area about 50 km (30 miles) north of Kuala Lumpur, flattened the unlicensed campsite early on Friday while people slept in their tents.
Of the 94 people caught in the slide, 61 were safe and nine still missing, according to the Selangor state fire and rescue department.
Search and rescue operations resumed for a second day earlier on Saturday, after a halt overnight due to heavy rains.
Survivors are in stable condition and will also receive trauma counselling, said Health Minister Zaliha Mustafa.
