The flash flood and landslides had hit in Indonesia and East Timor which had killed more then 100 people.

Torrential rain sparked widespread destruction in the South East Asian neighbours, with water from overflowing dams submerging thousands of homes.

The affected area stretches from Flores island in eastern Indonesia to East Timor.

In Indonesia alone, 86 people have died with dozens still missing. Officials warn the toll could still rise.

“The mud and the extreme weather have become a serious challenge and the debris piling up has hampered the search and rescue team,” Indonesian Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Raditya Djati told reporters.

“We suspect many people are buried but it’s not clear how many are missing,” his colleague Alfons Hada Bethan, head of the East Flores disaster agency, said.

“The evacuees are spread out. There are hundreds in each sub district but many others are staying at home. They need medicine, food, blankets.
