– Another person has been found dead, says operations manager Terje Marstad in the eastern NRK police district on Sunday morning.
During the morning, rescuers worked to transport the body out of the area.
After fewer landslides occurred in the area, rescuers have chosen to intensify the search with five groups working in two areas.
During the morning the search work in the north direction was extended. The leader of the task affirms Sunday morning that it is still a rescue operation.
On Friday, a man was found dead. The three people found Saturday have yet to be identified.
Specially trained dogs tagged Saturday night at various locations, which the rescue team has examined overnight through Sunday.
The Norwegian Armed Forces have built a bridge to the landslides so crews and equipment can exit.
The rescue team has not yet given up hope that they can find someone alive in the air pockets of the landslides, even though more than four days have passed since the landslide occurred Wednesday morning.
