Floods in Jakarta left at least 5 killed

MojNews-Five people were killed, three more are missing and thousands are unable to return to their waterlogged homes after Floods submerged parts of Indonesia ’s capital, officials said Wednesday.

The muddy deluge inundated the presidential palace, a major hospital and entire neighborhoods across Jakarta on Tuesday, only weeks after 70 residents of the low-lying megacity died in some of the deadliest flooding in memory.

Two teenagers were among the five people drowned or electrocuted in hard-hit parts of the city, Indonesia’s national disaster agency said.

“The joint rescue team is still searching” for three other possible victims , agency spokesman Agus Wibowo said, adding that nearly 20,000 people were staying in emergency shelters.
