42 people killed and many missing in flooding in Indonesia
Flash floods unleashed by torrential rains killed 41 people on the Indonesian island of Flores on Sunday (Apr 4), the disaster management agency BNPB said, and at least three more were reported killed in neighbouring Timor-Leste.
At least 49 families were hit on Flores, in the east of Indonesia's sprawling archipelago, Raditya Jati, a BNPB spokesman said in a statement.
Indonesia's weather agency said a tropical cyclone was approaching the Savu Straits between the southern part of Nusa Tenggara province and Timor-Leste's north coast, warning that it could bring yet more rain, waves and winds
