Some stranded Chinese tourists appeared confused and upset over their predicament. Officials of China's consulate in Bali met tour operators on Tuesday to thrash out steps to help stranded tourists, whom they had warned earlier of the risk of getting stuck. As many as 443 domestic and international flights were disrupted on Tuesday by the closure of the airport, about 60 km (37 miles) away from Mount Agung. "Those in the 8- to 10-kilometer radius must truly take refuge for safety," President Widodo told reporters. He also asked emergency services, military and officials to assist evacuees and help stranded tourists get home.
