Dozens die in landslides, floods
The death toll from devastating floods and landslides in Indonesia has risen to 26, an official said on Thursday, with hopes fading for 19 others still missing. Aid has begun pouring into Garut in the west of Indonesia's main island of Java, where 23 people died and 18 remain missing after torrential rain and fast-rising floods swept through the region. Receding floodwaters revealed scenes of destruction, with houses reduced to rubble and upturned cars and debris strewn throughout muddy streets.
