A six-year-old girl remains missing and nine people were injured after a landslide swept her family home away.

The horror unfolded yesterday (7 Oct) morning.
Letícia Correia de Queiroz and her family had been living in the houseboat seen in the footage for 28 years.
Her father, Osmar Pinheiro de Queiroz, and his wife were out fishing when the riverbank gave way.
They could only look on in despair as their house disappeared on the Solimões River in Manacapuru, Brazil.
Letícia and her teenage sister were at home at the time.
The older sister managed to get away in a canoe, but Letícia hasn’t been seen since.
Osmar, 37, said: “When she noticed the ground collapsing, she ran to grab the child and try to save her.
“But she couldn’t, as the barge collided with the floating house just as she was leaving.
“It all happened in the blink of an eye. There was no time to react.”
Nine people were taken to hospital with cuts, scrapes, and other minor injuries after the landslip.
Five are still in the hospital under observation.
The Fire Department suspended the search for Letícia at around 7 pm yesterday (7 October) due to darkness.
It was set to resume at 7 am today (8 October).
The area remains at risk of further landslides, as reported by Need To Know.
The Brazilian Navy has said it will investigate the disaster.
