At least 100 killed in collapse at illegal gold mine in Central African Republic

Videos shared online appear to show a slope collapsing on to a crowd of people at the site as others ran to safety.

More miners are trapped and hope for their survival is fading.

The incident occurred at about 3 p.m. local time in the village of Zamboye.

Rescuers are racing to retrieve the bodies of victims and find survivors among the miners, believed to be nationals of CAR and Cameroon.
