Heavy rain over Jakarta this weekend has caused landslides at the country's largest garbage dump, located just outside the city.

Hundreds of rescue workers are searching muddy piles of garbage with dogs and excavators. So far, they have found five victims, authorities say. At least three more are missing, and more rain is expected.

Among the dead are two garbage truck drivers and two people who were selling food at a stall next to the dump.
