Floods in Aceh leave 12 dead, 70,000 homeless
Jakarta (ANTARA News) -
Twelve people were dead and dozens remained missing Saturday while more than 70,000 fled their homes as floods swept the Indonesian island of Sumatra.
Villagers immediately blamed the floods on illegal logging while authorities were pushing the rescue efforts further into remote areas and fearing the worst would be discovered when flood waters subside.
"Until today (Saturday), eight people have died from floods in Matangkuli and Gayo Lues districts," the head of the public relations department in Aceh
province told AFP.
"We have not been able to assess exactly how many people need to be evacuated, but according to reports so far from six districts 70,000 people have fled their homes."
