JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - Flash floods and landslides in central Indonesia have killed at least 30 people, a senior health official said Monday, predicting the toll would rise as rescuers reach remote areas in the disaster zone.
Days of torrential rains have inundated dozens of villages on Sulawesi island, said Rustam Pakaya, head of health ministry's crisis center.
"Rescuers have found at least 30 bodies," he said, adding that rice, instant noodles, blankets, medicine and other emergency supplies were being distributed to thousands of people who have been forced to flee their homes.
