As a result of severe flooding and landslides on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, the death toll has risen to 417 people, according to information provided by Reuters based on official data.
Previous reports indicated 303 victims.
The National Search and Rescue Agency of Indonesia reported that the cause of the disaster was the ongoing heavy rains that have persisted since the end of last week. Mudflows have caused damage to residential buildings, roads, and other infrastructure, making it difficult for rescue teams to access the most affected areas.
