"Overall, 117 people were found, while 76 people were missing. This is the last data we have collected, ”said Head of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) Doni Monardo in a virtual press conference via Zoom, Tuesday, April 6.

"Meanwhile, in Lembata, a number of companies working on road works are still trying to be moved, mobilized to their target location," continued Doni.

Meanwhile, the data on the number of refugees, according to Doni, is still fluctuating. Data is still being compiled from a number of districts affected by floods and landslides.
