More than 150 people are still missing, three days after the tsunami that hit Indonesia. The death toll reached 429.
In the same town where a fish market reopened after Saturday's tragedy (22), a false alarm about a new tsunami caused panic in the streets. Run-run and the roof of a mosque have turned the shelter against the waves that did not come. Even in this case, the coastal areas of the islands of Sumatra and Java are still under threat. The Anak Krakatoa volcano remains active and can cause new landslides, resulting in the formation of larger waves.
Indonesia does not have an alert system for volcanic activity. The earthquake alarms did not fire because there was no earthquake. In addition, many buoys to detect signs of sea level rise are destroyed or not functioning due to lack of maintenance. The failures that have already been admitted by the country's government.
The search for bodies and survivors continues, but Tuesday (25), rescuers encountered another obstacle: heavy rain all day making difficult access to isolated and distressed areas.
More than 16,000 people have already been displaced from their homes and cities. One man said that his brother and his sons were able to hang on the ground of a car and were not dragged by the water, but many people still need the pain and strength to continue digging, searching, helping. Medical care is precarious in many cities and many roads are blocked by debris.
