At least two people were reported missing while boarding the canoe in the flooded rice fields in Bulangcangkring Village, Jekulo District, Kudus Regency, Central Java (Central Java).

The Chief Executive of the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) of Kudus Regency, Mundir, said the joint SAR team was still looking after the two poor children disappeared on Sunday, January 1.

"Until today, the Kudus BPBD team that conducted the search has not found the two drowning victims," said Mundir, Monday, January 2, as reported by Antara.

He said, on Sunday January 1 at around 16.00 WIB, three children used boats to search for fish in rice fields that were inundated due to flooding in Bulungcangkring Village.

However, the boat they were traveling on caused the three to fall into the rice fields. One in three children who were in the wooden boat was rescued, but two others have not been found.

The joint SAR team, which includes BPBD, Basarnas, TNI, Polri, and Bulangcangkring Village Government personnel, was deployed to find the two people with the help of volunteers.

Mundir appealed to Kudus residents whose neighborhoods were inundated due to flooding to increase caution.

"Especially if you don't know the terrain, whether the location of the inundation is deep enough or not, because the majority of the inundation is a rice field area," he said.
