Indonesia flood evacuees wait at temporary shelter

Floods in Indonesia damaged a bridge and sent dozens to a temporary shelter on Thursday.

A bridge in Lebak, about 115 kilometres (71.46 miles) southwest of Jakarta, was left uneven over a muddy river next to a landslide wall as people checked their abandoned homes.

An official said there were 135 homes severely damaged, while hundreds of others were only slightly damaged or inundated.

Severe flooding and landslides triggered by torrential rain in Jakarta have killed 17 people and displaced tens of thousands.
