The threat of more rain-triggered landslides slowed the search for survivors today at a Philippines primary school buried by up to 100 feet of mud after a mountain collapsed on a village.

A rain-soaked mountainside disintegrated in an unstoppable wall of mud today, burying hundreds of houses and a school in the eastern Philippines. Red Cross officials estimated 200 people were dead and 1,500 others missing.

About 100 bodies were found in an isolated village in the eastern Philippines today, adding to at least 527 others who were killed in mudslides and flash floods earlier this week.

More than 160,000 people fled to high ground or crowded into schools and town halls as yet another powerful typhoon battered the eastern Philippines today, where 1,000 are dead or missing from an earlier storm.
