Searches continued throughout the early hours of Saturday—Friday night in Brasília. 6 people are trapped in the rubble. About 300 rescuers participate in the operation.

The collapsed residential building had five floors, but neighbors reported to 1tv that there was a two-story extension at the top of the building. It is not known whether this extension was within the technical standards of Georgia, a former Soviet republic in the Caucasus.

Also according to 1tv, rescuers rescued a 3-year-old child who was inside a car swallowed by debris. She has been rescued and is not at risk of dying.

Batumi, the city where the landslide took place, is Georgia’s second-largest city and is home to homes and hotels for tourists seeking out the Black Sea. Furthermore, the local port is one of the most important in the country.
