Record rain in Indonesia kills at least 60 - NHK WORLD

At least 60 people have died in extreme flooding and landslides in and around the Indonesian capital of Jakarta. Record rainfall over New Year's caused rivers to burst their banks and submerge a dozen districts.

Flood waters are now receding, allowing locals to assess the damage.
People near Jakarta are beginning to clean up.
But many outlying villages remain inundated by water, or buried in mud.
The government says about 90,000 people still can't return home.
People are bracing for further downpours which are forecast for the coming days and weeks.
Health officials are also attempting to guard against waterborne diseases, by spraying disinfectant.
