Heavy rains have been lashing Greater Jakarta since New Year's Eve. The ensuing floods were further aggravated after several rivers burst banks. Public transportation has been severely disrupted, and several areas have got completely isolated and inaccessible for rescuers to reach.
Aside from physical danger, floods have increased the risk of outbreaks of potentially fatal waterborne diseases such as typhoid fever, cholera, and dysentery. (Sputnik/ANI)
