Rescue workers in Bello, a town bordering Medellin, said Sunday that they have recovered the bodies of 63 victims of last week’s landslide, while 28 people are still missing.
According to operation coordinator Frayden Rueda, the number of people unaccounted for was lowered after a revision of the initial missing persons list.
Following the revision, Rueda predicted that “the number of victims will not reach 90.”
The landslide was the most deadly single incident caused by the rainy season in Colombia’s history.
