Nearly 22,000 people were evacuated and are living in shelters in the wake of the tsunami. (AFP photo)JAKARTA: Indonesia on Thursday raised the danger alert level for an erupting volcano that sparked a killer tsunami at the weekend, after previously warning that fresh activity at the crater threatened to trigger another deadly wave. "There is a danger of more eruptions," said national disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho. But the status change sparked new fears with many residents already scared and refusing to return to their communities over fears of another tsunami. Medical workers have warned that clean water and medicine supplies were running low -- stoking fears of a public health crisis.
