Dozens of workers are feared dead after a landslide triggered by heavy rain swept them into a lake near a Burmese jade mine.
The diggers - mostly artisan miners sifting through excavated rubble for precious jade stones - were buried by the torrent of moving earth and water in Hpakant town, Kachin State, on August 13 afternoon.
