Fears abounded in Katesh that the magnitude of the tragedy may be monumental, with rising casualties because many people were still not accounted for.
Rescue teams are also having difficulty combing through mounds of mud which has accumulated in the town centre; damaging houses and burying vehicles and other properties.
