Indonesian rescuers struggle against heavy rain to reach tsunami-hit villages


A man holding an umbrella walks through the debris of his damaged house after a tsunami in Sumur, Banten province, Indonesia December 26, 2018. Heavy rain lashed fishing villages along the coast, muddying roads and holding up convoys delivering heavy machinery and aid to isolated areas while authorities urged residents to stay away from the shore in case of further waves. The Saturday evening tsunami followed the collapse of an area of the volcano island of about 64 hectares (222 acres), or about 90 soccer pitches. The waves engulfed fishing villages and holiday resorts, leaving a coast littered with the matchwood of homes, crushed vehicles and fallen trees. Anak Krakatau is the island that emerged from the area in 1927 and has been growing ever since.
