Bali’s worst floods in a decade kill 14

# At least 14 people on Bali in Indonesia have been killed in what officials say are the island’s worst floods in a decade. Torrential rains triggered severe flooding across most of the island, causing rivers to burst their banks. Hundreds of residents have been evacuated as their homes were submerged. The rain has now stopped, and water levels are receding, but rescuers are still searching for survivors. Landslides and flash floods are not uncommon across the Indonesian archipelago especially during the rainy season and climate change has made the situation worse.
