One person has been found dead, while nine remain missing after the landslide in Gjerdrum. Rescue teams continue to work intensively in the hope of finding survivors.
On the night of Wednesday, December 30, a violent landslide occurred in Ask, in the municipality of Gjerdrum. Since then, rescue teams have worked day and night to find the people who have been carried away by the avalanche.
The health service can now receive potential survivors, staffing and mobilizing. They also allow hospitals to receive.
– We have great faith in finding survivors. It’s possible to survive in airbags for a long time, health operations manager Bjørn Nuland said on Friday.
“We must continue to work hard and intensely, with a total focus on finding survivors,” says Police Task Leader Roger Pettersen.

Found dead in the avalanche
One person was found dead in the area of the landslide Friday afternoon. So far, the police have not released the sex or age of the deceased.
– My thoughts go out to those who have lost a loved one, Prime Minister Erna Solberg tells NTB.
– The rescue operation is still ongoing, and I also think of all those who live with the uncertainty of how things are going with the missing, he says.
Nine to go.
We work day and night in the landslide zone to find them.
Ten people were sent to hospitals with injuries of varying degrees and some 1,000 people have been evacuated from their homes. 31 housing units have disappeared into the destructive masses of clay. The landslide is the largest rapid clay landslide in recent history.
– This is a big disaster, said Prime Minister Erna Solberg when she visited Gjerdrum.

These are the ten that the police have searched
All open information is shared after consultation with the families of the disappeared.
Ann-Mari Olsen-Næristorp (50) and her daughter Victoria Sørengen (13):
They were with Odd Steinar Sørengen, Ann-Mari’s partner, when the clay masses took Nystulia’s home with them. The family lived on the second floor of a house for five people in the area of the landslide. When Sørengen approached the bottom of the stairs as he exited the building, the house began to shake.
– When I have two or three steps left, it has started to shake a lot and the whole house collapses while I am still there. At the time, I think Victoria and Ann-Mari have escaped, but I don’t know what they found there, Sørengen had previously told RB.

Irene Ruud Gundersen (69):
The retiree lived with her husband Steinar Gundersen and their daughter Marita Gundersen in Nystulia 4. The older sister, Nina Christine Gundersen, who lives at another address, has confirmed to RB that her mother is among the missing. The father and little sister escaped the avalanche and are in 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. Crossing everything I have to find mom, Nina Christine Gundersen has written in a Facebook post, that Romerikes Blad and Nettavisen have permission to post.

The family, expecting a new child in February, were at their home in Nystulia 39 when the landslide occurred.

Hans Jørgen, who misses three dear relatives, has not lost hope.
– We don’t lose hope, we don’t. At least not when the police task force leader also thinks he can find survivors in the avalanche, he tells Romerikes Blad.
Lisbeth Neraas (54) and her son Marius Brustad (29):
Marius Brustad was at home visiting his mother Lisbeth Neraas at Nystulia 42 at Christmas when the landslide lasted until the night of December 30. They have both been missed ever since.
– I can confirm that these two are among the missing, spokesperson Håkon Stavrum tells Romerikes Blad on January 1.
In a statement, which Romerikes Blad has received, the relatives write the following:
– It should not be possible to be exposed to this in your own home within a construction site. We hope and pray for a miracle or two to happen, even if we are also realistic.
