Indonesia flood death toll exceeds 1,000

The death toll from floods and landslides that struck three provinces on Indonesia's Sumatra Island reached 1,003, with 218 others still missing, according to the latest data released Saturday by the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB).

The disasters in Aceh, North Sumatra and West Sumatra, have caused extensive infrastructure damage. BNPB data listed damage to about 1,200 public facilities, as well as 219 health facilities, 581 educational facilities, 434 houses of worship, 290 office buildings and 145 bridges.

Abdul Muhari, head of BNPB's Data and Information Center, said at a press conference on Friday that data verification and cross-referencing with civil records are ongoing at the sub-district level. He noted that victims are being confirmed by name and address and that the verification process continues in several districts.

Authorities have carried out continuous weather modification in three provinces to prevent heavy rain from disrupting rescue and air deliveries.

Meanwhile, Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said during his visit to disaster-hit areas in Aceh on Friday that the government continues to work to fulfill various basic needs of the community.
