  • "Relief efforts were hampered by power cuts, blocked roads covered in thick mud and debris as well as the remoteness of the area on an island surrounded by choppy seas and high waves," Jati said.

    "The bodies of three people were recovered after being swept away by floods in Oyang Bayang village, where 40 houses were also destroyed," Ola said.

    "In another village, Waiburak, three people were killed and seven missing after overnight rains caused rivers to burst their banks, sending muddy water into large areas of East Flores district," Ola said.

    Four injured people were being treated at a local health clinic.

  • "The death toll reached 55 by Monday morning after the rains caused cold lava to tumble down the slopes of the Ili Lewotolok volcano and hit several villages," Jati said.

    "That disaster on Lembata island killed at least 11, while at least 16 others were still buried under tons of cold lava," Jati said. The lava was left after the volcano had erupted in November.
