Flood death toll rises to 21 in Indonesian capital via SABCNewsOnline

The flood, one of the deadliest in years, displaced more than 30 000 people and caused chaos across parts of Southeast Asia’s biggest city, with train lines blocked and power outages in some areas.

On his Twitter page, Widodo blames delays in flood control infrastructure projects for the flooding. He says some projects have been delayed since 2017 due to land acquisition problems. Television footage on Thursday showed rescuers in the nearby city of Tangerang evacuating people, guiding them across a strong current by holding on to a rope.
