Tens of thousands of revellers were soaked by torrential rain as they waited for New Year’s Eve fireworks in the capital Jakarta. National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Agus Wibowo said monsoon rain and rising rivers had submerged at least 90 neighbourhoods and triggered flash floods and landslides in Depok, a city on the outskirts of Jakarta. Mr Wibobo said most of the deaths were due to hypothermia, though one victim was a 16-year-old high school student who was electrocuted by a power line.
