Five People Killed In Bali Floods, Landslides

Five people have died in floods and landslides following the extreme weather that hit most parts of Bali, Indonesia, according to the District Disaster Management Agency (BPBD).

Head of BPBD Bali, Rentin said heavy rain and strong winds occurred from 12.30 midnight to 6.30 am local time on Friday.

The phenomenon caused landslides, uprooted trees, submerged roads, and floods covering seven districts, he said in a statement.

Two cars got stuck in a landslide and a road collapsed in Desa Gunaksa, Bangli, causing the death of three people and injuring three others.

A construction worker died after being buried by a landslide at a road project site in Desa Taro, Gianyar, while the body of a flood victim who was swept away by strong currents was found in Kota Denpasar.

Bali’s provincial government has given a compensation of 15 million rupiahs (RM4,548) to the families of those who died and 10 million rupiahs for medical costs for the injured.

Rentin said 33 tourists, including 23 foreign tourists, were evacuated after their accommodation in Seminyak, Badung was flooded by almost one meter of water.

Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) has warned that extreme weather will continue to hit the holiday island from Oct 9 until Oct 15.
