The funeral has been held in Colombia of 33 of the 84 victims of the Salgar landslide. Many other people remain unaccounted for.<br /><br /> Monday’s flash flood submerged much of this small coffee-growing town in a sea of mud, and there is now no hope of finding any survivors left alive. It is the country’s worst natural disaster since 1999, and the funeral brought out a crowd of over 5000 mourners. <br /><br /> Such was the crush from the crowd that soldiers had to form a cordon around Salgar’s Catholic church to prevent people spilling into its cemetery. Several high-ranking army officers also attended.
