Okay, so we're moving to the news; Death toll from Indonesia’s volcano
eruption climbs to 34

Search and rescue operations are still under way to find 16 people
missing after the eruption of Java’s Mount Semeru. Local officials said,
the death toll from the eruption on Saturday of the highest volcano on
Indonesia’s Java island has risen to at least 34, and rescue operations
are still under way. Mount Semeru, in the Lumajang district of East
Java province, spewed thick columns of ash more than 12,000 metres
into the sky, with searing gas and lava flowing down its slopes after the
sudden eruption. The disaster left entire streets filled with mud and
ash, swallowing homes and vehicles in several villages.

Wayan Suyatna, head of the local search dan rescue, told state media
on tuesday, so far 34 people have died and 16, raising an earlier death
toll of 14. He added that nearly 3,700 people have been evacuated
from the affected area.

Authorities said, on Tuesday, there were three small eruptions, each


spewing ash about a kilometre into the sky. Officials have advised
locals not to travel within 5km of Semeru’s crater, as the nearby air is
highly polluted and could affect vulnerable groups.
