Severe flooding in Bali, Indonesia, has claimed the lives of at least six people, according to local officials. Days of torrential rainfall have inundated large parts of the island, leaving streets submerged, homes damaged, and residents displaced.
Emergency services have been deployed across the affected areas, working tirelessly to evacuate families and provide aid. Videos and images from the scene show residents wading through knee-deep waters, while vehicles and businesses remain stranded under floodwaters.
Authorities warn that the death toll could rise as rescue operations continue, with some areas still inaccessible due to the heavy flooding. The disaster has also triggered landslides, further complicating recovery efforts.
Bali, known worldwide as a tourist hotspot, has faced an increase in extreme weather events in recent years, which experts link to climate change and environmental vulnerabilities. Officials are now urging residents and visitors to remain cautious as more rain is forecast in the coming days.
The Indonesian government has promised swift relief measures while stressing the need for long-term solutions to protect vulnerable communities from recurring disasters.
