At least 50 people were killed after flash floods & landslides swept through eastern Indonesia & neighbouring Timor Leste on April 4, authorities said, warning the toll could rise further. Floods sparked by torrential rain wreaked havoc & destruction on islands stretching from Flores Island in Indonesia to Timor Leste, a small nation east of the Indonesian archipelago. The deluge & subsequent landslides caused dams to overflow, submerging thousands of houses & leaving rescue workers struggling to reach survivors trapped in the aftermath. Mud inundated homes, bridges & roads in the East Flores municipality, where rescuers struggled to reach a remote & badly-hit area because of rains & strong waves. In neighbouring Timor Leste, 11 were killed by floods in the capital Dili, authorities said.
