Mount Semeru Eruption Turns This Place into Ghost Town

Today, residents' houses were still covered with ash on the roofs, while the roads and their yards were covered with ash and mud.

"From residents' reports, there are still missing people, so we continue to search this area. Livestock that are still alive will be moved to a safe place," said one volunteer at the Jember MDMC.

Some other residents have fled to safer places, including the village hall, houses of worship, and school buildings.

Rice fields and agricultural fields also died as they were covered in thick ash material.

In a number of houses, motorbikes and bicycles belonging to local residents were seen.

At around 02.30 p.m., the evacuation process was temporarily suspended due to bad weather. (antara/mcr20/jpnn)
