In late November 2025, a devastating cyclone struck Sumatra, Indonesia, causing widespread flooding across three provinces. Al Jazeera reports that at least 1,100 people were killed, over 100 are missing, and tens of thousands of homes were destroyed. Entire villages were wiped out by the extreme rainfall and muddy floodwaters. The report highlights the ongoing struggles of survivors weeks after the disaster, including inadequate shelter and the spread of illnesses. The report also examines systemic challenges, such as deforestation, poverty, and budget cuts, that exacerbated the communities' vulnerability. The Al Jazeera report, published on January 27, 2026, questions the efficiency and coordination of the government's response to the catastrophe.
