Floods in Indonesia have claimed the lives of more than 900 people, with hundreds still missing after a powerful cyclone struck the region last week. Over 100,000 homes were destroyed due to heavy rain and landslides triggered by the rare cyclone over the Malaca Strait. Efforts to help those trapped continue. Aid has to be delivered by air in some places as roads are blocked. The floods are part of a wave of extreme weather hitting Asia recently, with nearly 2,000 deaths reported across Sri Lanka, Thailand, Malaysia, and Vietnam. In Aceh Tamiang, one of the worst-hit areas, survivors said entire villages were swept away by fast floods. A survivor from Lintang Bawah Village told BBC Indonesian service, "There were also those who survived on the roofs of their houses with their four-year-old children, for three days without eating or drinking." She added that 90% of homes in her village were destroyed, leaving 300 families homeless. Another man shared how he and his family evacuated by boat when floodwaters reached the second floor of their home. They fled again from another village when water rose further. He said, "That night, while we were sleeping, water suddenly soaked the mattresses we were sleeping on [in Gampoeng Dalam Village]. But we couldn't go anywhere else, because there was no higher ground. Luckily, my daughter-in-law's house was on two levels. So we climbed upstairs and that's where we survived." The regional governor told AFP news agency that rescue teams were still digging through "waist-deep" mud looking for bodies. He warned, "Many people need basic necessities. Many areas remain untouched in the remote areas of Aceh. People are not dying from the flood, but from starvation. That's how it is." Reports also say inmates were released from a prison threatened by floodwaters, as officials had no safe place to send them. Land access to Sibolga City and Central Tapanuli remains cut off, with aid reaching these places only by air and sea. There have also been cases of looting at supermarkets in some areas.
