Jakarta: The death toll in Jakarta and the surrounding areas due to severe floods and landslides in Indonesia has increased to 53 and thousands of people are unable to return to their homes on Saturday due to water logging. Rescue teams are facing difficulties due to lack of water.

Significantly, after heavy rains a day before New Year, heavy rains and floods have submerged many areas in the capital and left thousands homeless. Giving information about the situation, officials said that about 1,70,000 people are still living in temporary camps. National Disaster Reduction Agency spokesman Agus Wibowo has said that people whose houses are still submerged in water are being asked to move to safer places.

Vibovo told that we have found more bodies. He said that officials will meet homeless people in areas most affected by the flood. Let me tell you that this is the most terrible flood since 2007. In 2007, 80 people died due to floods. Even at that time there was considerable loss of life and property in Indonesia.
