Over 1,000 dead from floods in Asia, Indonesia mobilizes army in some areas

Sri Lanka and Indonesia deployed military personnel on Monday to help victims of devastating floods that have killed more than 1,000 people and left hundreds missing in four Asian countries.

Unstable weather conditions have caused torrential rains across Sri Lanka and the large island of Sumatra in western Indonesia, as well as southern Thailand and northern Malaysia.

Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto arrived in North Sumatra on Monday and said the government's "priority now is to immediately send the necessary aid." "There are isolated villages that, God willing, we will be able to reach," he added, announcing the deployment of planes and helicopters to facilitate rescue operations. Subianto is under growing pressure to declare a national emergency to deal with floods and landslides that have killed more than 500 people and left 500 missing across the Southeast Asian archipelago.

It is the deadliest natural disaster in Indonesia since the 2018 earthquake and tsunami that killed more than 2,000 people in Sulawesi. Unlike his Sri Lankan counterpart, the Indonesian leader has not appealed for international help. His government has deployed three warships to ferry aid to the hardest-hit areas, where many roads remain closed by mud and debris left behind by the storm.

By Sunday afternoon, the rain had stopped across Sri Lanka, where authorities were carrying out a large-scale rescue operation. The Sri Lankan government used military helicopters to help people trapped by floods and landslides. One of the helicopters crashed Sunday evening north of Colombo.

At least 334 people have died, Sri Lanka's disaster management agency said on Sunday, with hundreds more missing as rescue teams cleared roads blocked by fallen trees and mud. President Anuradha Kumara Dissanayake, who declared a state of emergency to deal with the disaster, said he would press ahead with reconstruction after the natural disaster, "the biggest and most difficult in our history," he said on Saturday.

The loss of life and damage are the worst in Sri Lanka since the devastating 2004 tsunami. At least 176 people also died in southern Thailand, in one of the deadliest floods the country has seen in a decade. The government has taken relief measures, but public criticism of its handling of the disaster is mounting, and two local officials have been sacked.

Across the border in Malaysia, where torrential rains also flooded large areas of land in the state of Perlis, two people have died.
