Floods and landslides have struck Bengkulu province since Friday, although the water have receded, but disaster agency official warned people to exercise caution as further torrential rains are expected. In Indonesia's capital of Jakarta, the floods have commenced receding, it said.
The death toll in the province rose to 29 on Monday, head of data and information of the provincial disaster management agency Abdul Rohman told Xinhua.
More than 12,000 people are taking shelters as the floods and landslides destroyed 184 houses, seven educational facilities, and 40 others infrastructure facilities, including roads, bridges, water channels and facilities in the province, said Rohman.
Tents, rubber boats, fast foods, clean waters, baby foods, bailey bridges and reconnecting transportation are among the dire needs, he added.
The disaster has damaged transport infrastructure and cut off electricity which has hampered communication and distribution of aids to affected areas, said Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, spokesman of the national disaster management agency.
