Indonesia floods kill at least 60 people

Indonesia: At least 60 people were killed on Sunday and 100,000 have fled their homes after flood waters submerged houses and roads in Indonesia's eastern Aceh province, officials and media reports said.

Aceh government spokesman Nurdin Jos said the worst hit area was in Tamiyang district, eastern Aceh province. “Rescuers have evacuated 60 bodies from villages in Aceh Tamiyang district, while dozens others are still reported still missing,'' he said.

Days of seasonal rain have lashed the country's Sumatra island, leaving tens of thousands displaced and many trapped on the roofs of their homes.

Media reports said 114 people had been killed and quoted at least 100,000 who had fled their homes.
