Rescue workers on Flores Island are facing challenges in their search for survivors following the Mount Lewotobi Laki Laki eruption, which killed at least nine.
Local disaster agency chief Kensius Didimus stated that smoldering debris and mudslides caused by the eruption have hampered relief efforts due to power blackouts.
Priatin Hadi Wijaya, from Indonesia's Center for Volcanology, emphasized the danger of 'hot ash and debris' falling from the crater, posing ongoing risks due to heavy rains.
As many as 2,400 villagers are housed in emergency shelters, while others risk returning home due to concerns about their livestock after the volcanic eruption.
