Six people were killed and 20 still missing after
landslides and flooding triggered by heavy
downpours hit a district in Indonesia’s South
Sulawesi province, an official said today.
“The landslides and floods in Gowa district
followed two days of heavy rain that caused water
levels in a dam to swell,’’ district chief, Adnan
Ichsan said.
Mr Ichsan said four people were injured and over
2,100 people were displaced.
“The extreme weather in the past two days have
caused havoc in several sub-districts,’’ he told dpa
by phone.
Landslides and floods are common in Indonesia
during the rainy season.
