Landslide in Bosnia

A Bosnian rescue team recovers the body of one ...

In Tuzla, Bosnia-Herzegovina, 3 people were killed while many were left homeless due to a landslide on Sunday. The landslide was caused by heavy amounts of rain. This area had been experiencing heavy rain for over five days now causing some of the worst floods in a century. These floods have caused many people to be evacuated from their homes. A man was rescued from his three story home, told the Associated Press. Tragically, however, his wife, teenage son, and mother were unable to escape as the landslide slid the house downhill 20 meters before it crushed and buried the building.
