About 10% of the territory remains to be directly examined in the landslide zone, but some of the rescuers are already moving forward, examining the riverbeds.
The number of victims of the landslide in the resort town of Shovi in northwestern Georgia on Tuesday, August 15, has risen to 26 people. About this, AFP wrote with reference to the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Georgia.
It is reported that rescuers are continuing to search for seven people who are considered missing.
Georgia rescuers are searching both at the epicenter of the disaster and in nearby rivers, using excavators to dig up dry land, where the missing may remain.
“Some bodies were found 25 km from the center of the disaster,” said the rescue service.
The resort village of Shovi, where the tragedy occurred, is located in a remote valley 140 kilometers northwest of Tbilisi at the confluence of two rivers.
Recall that a large-scale rockfall in Chauve took place on August 3. Earlier it was reported that 18 people died, in particular, a citizen of Ukraine.
