JAKARTA: Rescuers on Tuesday (Apr 6) were searching for dozens of people still missing after floods and landslides swept away villages in Indonesia and Timor-Leste, killing more than 150 people and leaving thousands more homeless.
Torrential rains from Tropical Cyclone Seroja turned small communities into wastelands of mud, uprooted trees and sent about 10,000 people fleeing to shelters across the neighbouring Southeast Asian nations.
