Storyline: The death toll from floods and landslides across three provinces on Indonesia's Sumatra Island has risen to 604, with 464 others still listed as missing, the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) said on Monday. Search and rescue operations are continuing at full speed across affected areas, the agency said. About 570,000 people have been displaced in North Sumatra, West Sumatra and Aceh. Roads remain buried or washed out, and communication networks are down in many districts, forcing relief supplies to be delivered mainly by air, according to the agency. In North Sumatra, the hardest-hit province, homes are inundated with mud and debris, and residents have been without power or phone access for nearly a week. Heavy machinery has been used to clear blocked routes since early Monday, but access to some villages remains impossible. One of the region's most important routes, through Aidan Koting in North Tapanuli, now lies completely severed. The road normally links several districts and leads to the port city of Sibolga, which has suffered severe damage from flash floods and landslides after days of relentless rain. Flash floods first swept through the region almost a week ago, destroying homes, washing away roads and knocking down power lines. Residents said they have lost everything and are desperate for help. "We don't know what to do. Please help us repair our home, just so we have somewhere to sleep at night," said Junaida Pakpahan, a local resident Pakpahan has been staying at a neighbor's home after hers was engulfed by mud. With electricity and phone networks down for the past six days, many residents are unable to contact their families. "My child is in Sibolga, and we don't know if she is well now," she said. "Home appliances, clothes, my bed -- we can't use any of it. Everything went underwater," said Erwin hutagalung, a truck driver now sheltering with his toddler. Residents said food, water, medicine and clothing are in urgent need. Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto said on Monday that the government's rescue and relief efforts are being advanced with full force. He stressed that Indonesia must respond effectively to climate change and that local governments should play a greater role in environmental protection and in preparing for future extreme weather events.
