Collapsed houses caused by flash floods are seen in Sentani near the provincial capital of Jayapura, Indonesia’s eastern Papua province, on March 17, 2019./ AFPFlash floods in Indonesia’s eastern Papua province have killed at least 58 people, an official said Sunday, as rescuers battled mud, rocks and fallen trees in the hunt for survivors.
“The number of casualties and impact of the disaster will likely increase as search and rescue teams are still trying to reach other affected areas,” he said.The waters had receded but officials were still trying to evacuate people from areas obstructed by “fallen trees, rocks, mud and other material”, Nugroho added.
Video footage showed rescuers administering oxygen to a victim who appeared to be trapped beneath a fallen tree. “The rain started last night and went on until around 1:00 am this morning,” said Lilis Puji Hastuti, a 29-year-old mother of two young children in Sentani.
