At least 222 deaths have been reported by Disaster Teams in Indonesia after a large Tsunami struck early on Sunday 23rd December 2018. Nearly 850 people are being treated for various injuries.
The Tsunami swept over Fishing Ports and hundreds of people at a Beach Concert featuring Indonesian Band “Seventeen,” without warning. Oystein Lund Andersen, a Norwegian witness who was on a family trip on the coast of Anyer Beach, wrote on Facebook about what he saw: Next wave entered the hotel area where I was staying and downed cars on the road behind it. Managed to evacuate with my family to higher ground through forest paths and villages, where we are taken care of by the locals. We’re unharmed, thankfully.
Authorities have warned the death toll could significantly increase as they widen their searches. At least 28 people are reported as missing and over 500 buildings have been destroyed or heavily damaged.
The exact cause of the Tsunami is still being investigated and debated - some experts suggested the eruption of Krakatoa on Saturday night triggered it while others say an underwater Trench may have collapsed.
