YOGYAKARTA - The total number of casualties caused by the ongoing eruption of the Mount Merapi volcano in Central Java has risen to 135. This was announced by a government agency earlier this afternoon, but it is very likely that this number will increase futher because several areas can not be searched and the volcano is showing no signs of cooling down.
Most of the dead were found in the district of Sleman in Yogyakarta province. In total 123 bodies were recovered there. Several other victims were from the districts of Klaten, Boyolali and Magelang. At least 411 people were injured during the eruption, 64 of them in Sleman, 66 in Boyolali and 129 in Magelang. Because the volcano is still highly active, it is expected that this number will also rise further.
According to the National Agency Disasters (BNPB) there are also 280,000 people who have been evacuated because of the erupting Mount Merapi volcano. Over 54,000 residents of Sleman found shelter elsewhere, as well as over 58,000 in Klaten, 60,000 in Boyolali, over 102,000 in the district of Magelang and almost 3,000 in the city of Magelang.
