Norwegian King Harald V (83) visited the disaster area together with his wife, Queen Sonja (83) and Crown Prince Haakon (47). The royal family wanted to meet with representatives of the community, emergency services, and people who had been taken to safety during the day. He was first informed at the Gjerdrum cultural center about how rescue teams are searching for survivors in the area of the landslide.
On the day of the accident, Harald had already expressed his condolences to those affected. “My thoughts are with all those affected or injured, who have lost their home and are now living in fear and uncertainty about the magnitude of the disaster,” he said Wednesday.
Around 1000 people were brought to safety. Several people remain missing, including women, men and two girls aged two and 13. The search for them should continue on Sunday as well.
