Indonesia: Severe Flooding Hits Medan, North Sumatra

On Thursday, November 27, severe flooding completely submerged hundreds of houses in three hamlets of Paya Geli Village (Sunggal Subdistrict, Deli Serdang Regency). The flooding was caused by the overflowing of the river located behind the residential area. The river began to flood homes at 5:00 AM, and by 10:30 AM, water levels had reached waist-high for an adult, submerging thousands of homes and blocking the main access road.
