Indonesia races to evacuate survivors as death toll rises from Sumatra floods, landslides

JAKARTA: Indonesian rescuers are struggling to reach survivors on Sumatra island after torrential rains unleashed flash floods and triggered landslides, killing dozens of people and displacing thousands of others, authorities said on Thursday. Days of relentless rainfall caused rivers in North Sumatra province to overflow, sending waves of mud, rocks and uprooted trees through villages in at least nine regencies, with districts of Sibolga and Central Tapanuli among the hardest hit.
