The death toll from catastrophic flooding in Indonesia has risen above 900, authorities confirmed this week. The disaster struck last week after torrential rains triggered severe floods and landslides across the country.
Entire communities were submerged, destroying more than 100,000 homes. Rescue teams continue to search for survivors and recover victims in the hardest-hit areas.
The scale of the destruction has overwhelmed local resources. The government is now coordinating a massive relief operation to provide shelter, food, and medical aid to displaced residents.
Officials warn that the number of casualties may still increase. They cite difficult terrain and widespread damage hampering the full assessment of the disaster's impact.
