December 5, 2023 -
Os bombeiros encontraram mais corpos de montanhistas apanhados
de surpresa pela erupção do Monte Marapi na ilha indonésia de Sumatra, no domingo, elevando o eventual número de vítimas mortais para 23.
More than 50 climbers were rescued after the initial eruption, and 11 others were initially confirmed dead. New eruptions on Monday and Tuesday spewed more hot ash as high as 800m into the air, reducing visibility and temporarily halting search and recovery operationsy.
The bodies of two climbers were located on Monday and nine more on Tuesday, the National Search and Rescue Agency said.
One climber remained missing and was presumed dead because of being very close to the eruption site.
