The death toll from severe flooding and landslides in Indonesia’s Sumatra has risen to 631, with more than one million people forced to evacuate, authorities said Tuesday.
Rescue teams continue searching for 472 people still reported missing, as government agencies and aid organizations work to deliver emergency assistance to affected communities.
The disasters, triggered by heavy rainfall, have devastated villages across northern Sumatra, destroying homes, roads, and infrastructure. Officials warn that the number of casualties could rise as search and rescue operations continue.
