4. INDONESIAN PRESIDENT ADRESSING PUBLIC (Indonesian) NORTH SUMATRA, INDONESIA - DECEMBER 01: Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has inspected the flood-hit areas on Monday, Dec. 1, as the death toll rose in Sumatra from severe flooding and landslides.

The National Disaster Management Agency reported that floods and landslides in Sumatra alone have claimed 593 lives, with 468 people still missing.

North Sumatra has recorded 217 fatalities and 209 missing, while in West Sumatra, there have been 129 deaths and 118 people still missing, and in Aceh province, 96 are dead with 75 unaccounted for.

Hundreds of houses have been damaged, 1.1 million people affected, and more than 290,000 displaced, while search and rescue teams continue operations for missing people in different areas.

President Subianto visited the affected regions on Monday and ordered the deployment of all national forces — including the military — to accelerate emergency response.

Prabowo is under pressure to declare a national emergency; however, he said the worst has passed and that the government’s priority was to swiftly deliver aid to those affected.

Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency issued fresh heavy-rain warnings on Monday across major cities, including Sumatra.

The disaster is the country’s deadliest since 2018, when a massive earthquake and tsunami in Sulawesi killed more than 2,000 people.
