Rescuers struggle to reach cut-off communities in flood-hit Sumatra as death toll tops 800
Rescuers are struggling to reach survivors in remote areas of Indonesia, as the death toll from severe floods in Sumatra jumps to more than 800. Affected regions are running low on fuel and funds for relief efforts. Indonesia's disaster agency said teams need to clear blocked roads and repair damaged infrastructure to access communities that have been cut off. It's been a little over a week since the landslides, but the flooding has not stopped. Chandni Vatvani reports from North Tapanuli, one of the worst-hit areas on Sumatra island.
