Indonesia Floods, Landslides Kill 43

The death toll from landslides and flooding in Indonesia rose to 43 Monday, an official said, after hundreds of homes were engulfed by surging torrents of mud and rock.

Hundreds of rescuers were searching through wrecked houses and mounds of earth for 19 villagers still missing after days of rain triggered the landslips and flash floods on mountainous Java Island at the weekend.

In further details, the natural disasters happened across densely populated Central Java province, with fast-moving walls of mud, rock and water engulfing buildings as they raced down hillsides and drivers swept off roads.

Meanwhile, villagers were forced to seek refuge on rooftops as the floodwaters rose.
