Homes evacuated in flood-hit Indonesia areas

The marines have been deployed in Indonesia to help evacuate residents from their homes in flooded parts of the country.

Heavy rain brought a deluge of flooding to West Kalimantan, where floodwater was 1.5 metres high (4.9 feet,) Indonesia's Metro TV said.

In South Kalimantan, people boarded rescue boats and followed the Martapura river to safety. One body was found during the rescue mission in the Banjar district on Sunday, Metro TV said.
