Torrential rain in Indonesia’s third largest city caused four rivers to overflow, flooding thousands of homes and killing at least two people, officials said Friday.
The local disaster mitigation agency said rescuers were searching for six missing people, including a toddler, after the heavy rains in Medan, the capital of North Sumatra province.
At least two people were found dead after being swept away by the floods, which began Thursday evening, the agency said in a statement.
