"Advertisment In North Sumatra, Indonesia, flash floods have killed 28 people, with many more still missing. Bad weather and blocked roads are making it tough for rescuers to reach affected areas Heavy rain over the last two days caused rivers to swell and overflow, sending mud, rocks, and debris sweeping through six subdivisions. Videos shared online showed water rushing into houses, forcing families to escape to safer ground. Several roads were seen covered in mud, tree trunks, and scattered debris. In Central Tapanuli, landslides destroyed multiple homes, while almost 2,000 houses were left underwater due to intense flooding. South Tapanuli reported eight deaths caused by falling trees. More than 2,800 people from the affected districts have been moved to temporary relief camps. Indonesia often faces severe rainfall between October and March, leading to floods and posing constant risk to people living near riverbanks or on unstable, hilly terrain."
