Indonesia is searching for more than 400 people missing after massive floods and landslides hit Sumatra. The death toll has crossed 440. Many villages remain cut off and have received no aid. Some people have stolen food and water to survive. The disaster was caused by Cyclone Senyar, a rare tropical storm that swept away homes and flooded thousands of buildings. Aid is being sent by air and sea, but rescue teams say more help is needed. Other countries in the region, including Thailand, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and the Philippines, have also faced deadly floods this month, with over 900 deaths reported. (PC: BBC)
