Catastrophic Sumatra Floods Kill Over 900, Spark Famine Fears

More than 900 people have died after devastating floods and landslides hit Indonesia's Sumatra island, officials reported Saturday. The country's disaster management agency warned the death toll could rise further due to starvation risks. Rescue efforts continue in the hardest-hit areas. The disaster follows a period of intense rainfall that caused rivers to overflow. Landslides then buried entire villages in mud and debris. Aid organizations are now racing to deliver food and clean water to survivors. They aim to prevent a secondary crisis of hunger and disease in isolated communities.
