At least 24 people, including young children, were killed in a landslide that hit a campsite near Genting Highlands in Malaysia on Dec 16.

Typically, sediment, soil or rock can hold itself due to their internal strength and friction of the material on the slope. It appeared to have started at the edge of the road. “We managed to run to the parking lot and called the authorities. The continuous rain during the north-east monsoon, which is expected to last until March next year, is the main reason why areas with slopes exceeding 25 degrees are at risk of erosion, according to The Star. Water also reduces friction. It sounded like trees were being ripped apart and rocks crumbling.” Father’s Organic Farm in Batang Kali has three sites for campers, but it is unclear how many tents the sites can accommodate. It happened at around 2am, hitting the camping area which has three sites. The addition of water can decrease strength and lead to landslides A landslide can occur when the force of gravity becomes greater than either the friction or the strength of the sediment, according to an explainer done by the “My family and I were trapped when the soil covered our tent,” he told Malaysia’s Berita Harian. The earth came down from an estimated height of 30m above the campsite, according to the fire and rescue department.
