PADANG SIDEMPUAN, Indonesia: Indonesia’s president told survivors of last week’s devastating floods that help was arriving to those in need Monday as Asian governments scaled up their responses to a disaster that has left more than 1,000 dead in three countries. Hundreds more are missing following flooding and landslides in the past week, which killed at least 469 people in Indonesia, 334 in Sri Lanka and 170 in Thailand, authorities said.

Authorities say 79 people remain missing and thousands of families have been displaced from their homes across Sumatra.

Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand have been inundated with cyclone-driven rain for a week, killing about 400 people.
