STORY: Indonesian rescuers in the northern regions of Sumatra raced on Saturday (November 29) to find 79 people still missing as the search for victims continued days after a deadly flood hit the area, killing 174.

Communications remained down in some parts of the island, and authorities were working to restore power and clear roads that have been blocked by landslide debris, said Abdul Muhari, spokesman for Indonesia's national disaster mitigation agency on Friday (November 28).

Large parts of Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand have been stricken by cyclone-fuelled torrential rain for a week, with a rare tropical storm forming in the Malacca Strait.
