Authorities race to evacuate remaining villagers around Indonesia's Lewotobi volcano

Authorities raced to evacuate residents reluctant to leave affected villages from the erupting Mount Lewotobi Laki-Laki volcano in Indonesia's Flores Timur on Sunday, November 10.

The 1,584-meter-high (5,196.85-ft.) volcano has continued to spew volcanic material from its crater for a week since November 3, prompting authorities to expand the danger area and increasing the number of evacuees.

However, facing a limited supply of vehicles, the authorities could only evacuate those who were willing to leave. Others, like 48-year-old villager, Matheus Budi, would rather evacuate on his own.

The Indonesian Volcanology Agency plans to expand to 9 km from 8 km (5 miles) the zone southwest to northwest of the crater that people are not allowed to enter, head of the agency said on Saturday (November 9).
