Severe flooding in Indonesia’s capital has killed at least 16 people, displaced tens of thousands and forced an airport to close, the country’s disaster management agency said Thursday.
Monsoon rains and overflowing rivers caused buildings to collapse in Banten province.
The extreme weather has also submerged at least 169 neighbourhoods and caused landslides in the Bogor and Depok districts on Jakarta’s outskirts.
The floods have inundated thousands of homes and buildings in poor and wealthy districts alike, forced authorities to cut off electricity and water and paralysed transport networks.
More than 31,000 people were in temporary shelters after floodwaters reached up to 2.5 meters (8 feet) in places.
As much as 37 centimeters (14.5 inches) of rainfall was recorded in Jakarta and West Java’s hilly areas on New Year’s Eve, causing the Ciliwung and Cisadane rivers to overflow.
120,000 rescuers were helping people evacuate and installing mobile water pumps as more downpours were forecast.

We should go and pray at our ancestors temples which are abandoned by us. Our ancestors souls must be crying because we left those temples unattended where they used to pray
