"On the fourth day, the evacuation of Tulabolo landslide victims was hampered by the weather," said Head of the Gorontalo Province Search and Rescue (SAR) Office, Heriyanto in Gorontalo, on Wednesday (July 9).

According to Heriyanto, the high rainfall in the area has hindered the search efforts, so the team has not been able to find other victims until now.
