AI Summary

medium article 3 min

Indonesia is searching for at least 400 people missing after deadly floods and landslides struck Sumatra nearly a week ago, triggered by Cyclone Senyar. The disaster has killed over 440 people in Indonesia, with millions affected across Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka, where over 900 deaths have been reported this month. Aid is being delivered to affected areas, but some villages remain isolated, leading to reports of looting for food and water. The worst-hit areas include Aceh, North Sumatra, and West Sumatra, with Central Tapanuli and Sibolga requiring immediate attention. Elon Musk is providing free Starlink services to aid emergency communications.
