YOGYAKARTA - The number of dead after the most recent eruption of the Mount Merapi volcano last night has risen to 89. The nightly eruption was the most heavy one since the eruption started a week and a half ago. The Coordinating Minister of Welfare, Agung Laksono, has confirmed this information earlier today.
69 of the dead were recovered in Yogyakarta province, while four others were found in the province of Central Java. Several hundred people sustained injuries and respiratory problems from the most recent eruption, but causes severe strains on hospitals in the region because they are not able to cope with the many victims.
The safety situation around the volcano is not getting better as well. The government has decided that the danger zone for the volcano had to be stretched up to 20 kilometers from the peak of the volcano. Earlier that zone only extended for ten kilometers, which causes tens of thousands of evacuated to be evacuated again. The danger zone now reaches into the northern outskirts of the city of Yogyakarta.
