UNICEF: Indonesia, Jakarta Floods
Jakarta, the capital of Indonesia, was paralyzed over the weekend as severe flooding left large parts of the city underwater. Relief assistance is now beginning to reach affected areas.
The flooding, coupled with seasonal torrential rains, inundated thousands of houses and other buildings, including about 1,500 schools, and displaced some 340,000 people. Roads, safe water, telephone lines and electricity remain inaccessible to many of the city's residents.<br><br>
Districts surrounding Jakarta "including Bogor, Depok, Tangerang and Bekasi " were also seriously affected.<br><br>
Jakarta police report that at least 29 people have died in the floods so far. Meanwhile, the displaced are now seeking refuge in crowded mosques, schools and government buildings.<br><br>
