              Landslides And Flash Floods Hit Java - Indonesia

              People ride a rubber boat in flood water in Jombang, East Java, Indonesia, on December 12, 2024. Indonesian rescuers recovered 10 bodies that were swept away in flash floods or buried under tons of mud and rocks that hit hilly villages on the country’s main island of Java, officials said Monday. Two people are still missing. Torrential rains since last week have caused rivers to burst their banks, tearing through more than 170 villages in Sukabumi district of West Java province, as mud, rocks and trees tumbled down mountainside hamlets, said Lt. Col. Yudi Hariyanto, who heads a rescue command post in Sukabum. Photo by Saddam/Xinhua/ABACAPRESS.COM

                    At Least 89 People Remain Missing After Floods - Eastern Spain

                    Several people clean up the damage caused by the DANA, November 6, 2024, in Algemesí, Valencia, Valencian Community, Spain. One of the most affected areas of Algemesí by the DANA is the Raval neighborhood, where mud has accumulated in mountains several meters high and even the walls of some houses have given way to the voracity of the water. The lack of machinery slows down the work in Algemesí and the City Council is already helping those affected to process insurance claims. Both the Military Emergency Unit, UME, and the fire department are working in the town, but the layer of mud is still several centimeters in some areas and the belongings are piled up next to the houses generating bad smell and humidity.
