Ten people are still missing after the landslide in Gjerdrum and the police are working on the assumption that they are in the area of the landslide.
Among those missing after the landslide is Irene Ruud Gundersen, 69.
In a Facebook post, daughter Nina Christine Gundersen wrote that her father and sister left the house and are among those who suffer minor injuries at the hospital.
– My parents’ house was taken over by the landslide. My sister and my father came out. They are slightly injured and are in the hospital, but my mother is not there. This is completely unreal. Cross everything I have to find Mom, writes Nina Christine Gundersen.

She informs Dagbladet that Irene Ruud Gundersen is 69 years old and retired.
Looking for survivors
Task leader Roger Pettersen says that two helicopters were used and that a dog and a rescuer were shot down in the area of the landslide. There are also drones with night optics and airborne heat-seeking cameras over the area of the landslide.
In addition, so-called Wear teams of the Oslo Fire and Rescue Service and a group of Swedish rescuers are on the scene to search for the ten who are still missing after the massive landslide at Ask in the municipality of Gjerdrum.
– They are the remains of houses or modules that are relatively intact depending on the conditions. The dog is inside the house and the rescue team is outside, Pettersen said at a news conference on New Year’s Eve.
Praise the emergency services
The mayor of Gjerdrum, Anders Østensen (Labor Party), praises all the agencies involved in the rescue work and tells Dagbladet that the families of the missing have been informed about the work that is being carried out at the accident site.
Experts: They thought the highway would stop the landslides
– It’s a demanding job. Many of the family members probably feel that hope is fading a bit. People are sad and in shock. There are many emotions out there. But we get a lot of positive feedback, and we really appreciate it, says Østensen.
Large amounts of clothing, food, hygiene items and the like have also been collected at evacuation centers for those who had to rush out of their homes early Wednesday morning.
