Search on for survivors of Indonesia volcano eruption

Posted: 01 Feb 2014 10:47 PM PST

Karo (Indonesia) (AFP) - Indonesian rescuers will search through thick ash Sunday hoping to find survivors after Mount Sinabung volcano erupted engulfing victims in scorching clouds, killing 14 people including four high-school students. About 100 rescuers, including from the military and police, armed with chainsaws and oxygen apparatus will carry out the difficult search through up to 30-centimetre thick ash in Sukameriah village -- just 2.7 kilometres (1.7 miles) from the volcano's crater, disaster and local officials said. "We don't know how many people are missing but rescuers today will resume evacuation and look for anyone still trapped," National Disaster Management Agency official Tri Budiarto told AFP. "It's cloudy today so we worry that it might rain," Karo district spokesman Robert Peranginangin.
