Floods in Indonesia kill 8

By RIA Novosti,

Jakarta : Eight people were killed and another two were reported missing in floods in Indonesia’s West Sulawesi region over the weekend, the Jakarta Post newspaper said on Monday.

Thousands were forced to leave flooded homes, and the popular tourist destinations of Kuta and Seminyak in Bali were also inundated.

About 500 hectares of rice paddies have been flooded in the province of West Nusa Tenggara.

Local officials fear there could be more floods due to continuing heavy rains.
