Poor weather hinders search and rescue at Indonesian volcano
Al Jazeera, 07 Dec 2021
Search and rescue efforts after the eruption of Indonesia’s Semeru volcano have been suspended because of poor weather, as officials monitoring the mountain urged caution following the weekend’s deadly eruption.
Semeru, in the east of Java island, erupted dramatically on Saturday, sending a towering column of ash into the sky that blanketed surrounding villages.
Indonesia’s national disaster agency said the number killed rose to 22 on Monday night and 27 people were still missing. Dozens have been injured.
