At least 14 people have now died, two people remain missing and hundreds are displaced after floods swept through Indonesia’s holiday island of Bali this week, officials said Wednesday.
Continuous heavy rains from Tuesday evening through to Wednesday affected around 600 residents, according to Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency.
Five fatalities were reported in the capital, Denpasar, while four more occurred in the regions of Jembrana, Gianyar, and Badung. Nearly 200 residents have fled their homes and moved to schools and mosques.
The floods destroyed two buildings in Denpasar and blocked major roads, limiting access to the island’s international airport. Only trucks were able to navigate the roads.
About 200 rescuers have been deployed to assist with evacuation and relief efforts. Authorities have distributed tents, food, blankets, mattresses, water pumps, and rubber boats to affected areas.
Heavy rain also caused flooding in Indonesia’s East Nusa Tenggara, killing four more people.
