BMKG warns of rain as Sumatra flood deaths rise
(MENAFN) Indonesian authorities have issued warnings for potential rainfall across large parts of the country on Monday, following devastating floods and landslides in Sumatra that have already resulted in significant casualties.
The meteorological agency reported an uptick in rainfall across multiple regions and highlighted that several cities could face severe weather conditions, according to local reports.
As of Sunday, national disaster officials confirmed that the ongoing floods and landslides in Sumatra had claimed 442 lives, with 402 individuals still unaccounted for.
"Search and rescue teams are continuing their efforts for a sixth day in the affected areas to locate those still missing," the authorities stated.
The latest figures indicate that 646 people have been injured, while approximately 1.1 million residents have been impacted. Hundreds of homes have sustained damage, and over 290,000 people have been forced to leave their homes due to the flooding.
Many of the hardest-hit regions remain difficult to access, and rescue teams are operating both on land and from the air. However, the challenging terrain has restricted the use of heavy equipment in relief efforts.
