Over 400 people have died and hundreds more injured after Cyclone Senyar caused severe flooding and landslides in Indonesia, particularly on the island of Sumatra, where thousands remain cut off from aid.

The rare tropical storm swept away homes and submerged thousands of buildings.

Torrential rains and storms have also affected Thailand, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Sri Lanka, leaving millions impacted and contributing to more than 900 deaths across Asia this month.

Rescue workers are racing to reach isolated communities and deliver critical supplies, the BBC has reported.

The disaster highlights the increasing vulnerability of the region to extreme weather events.
