Six lifeless bodies, including five that had been brought down the mountain for identifying, were still to be evacuated, according to him, and the 12 climbers remained missing as of Tuesday morning.
Due to ongoing eruptions and poor presence, the rescuers may try manual evacuations whenever they could, walking to the volcano’s summit and using stretchers to remove the victims.
Five eruptions were seen between midnight and 8am local time ( Singapore time ), according to Ahmad Rifandi, the head of Marapi’s monitoring post, who reported to AFP on Tuesday.
” Marapi is still very engaged,” said the author. We are unable to see the column’s top because of the cloud, he claimed.
Three hikers who were discovered dead on the hill after the volcano were injured but taken to the hospital for medical care, according to Abdul Malik, mind of the Padang Search and Rescue Agency, who told investigators on Monday.
According to Hendra Gunawan, the mind of Indonesia’s geological agency, Marapi has been at the next level of a four-tier alert system since 2011 and has an exclusion zone of 3 km around its crater.
He emphasized that” serious impacts” were reported for patients within one to 1.5 kilometers of the crater and claimed that climbers were being blamed for getting too close to it on Monday.
” YET MORE HOPE!”
Although some hikers may have been taking illegal rock roads, officials claimed that they had registered through an online booking system.
At a data center at the foot of the mountain, family members were still awaiting changes.
The home of Zhafirah Zahrim Febrina expressed their relief that she was one of the fortunate ones as the search for the missing hikers continued.
A member of the recovery services delivered great news in the form of a broadcast on the video app TikTok where the 19-year-old could be seen.
Even though Febrina had burn and was clearly shaken, her mother Rani Radelani was relieved.
She remarked,” Praise God she has been found, it felt remarkable.” After getting stuck on the hill while hiking with 18 college friends, Febrina is currently being treated in a local hospital.
Radelani remarked,” If she asks me to let her walk a mountain, I’ll say no.”
Social media users have shared a lot of images of Febrina covered in dust.
