Flood survivors pick up the pieces as more rain looms

SURVIVORS in the country are piecing back shattered lives after devastating floods killed more than 1,500 people across four countries, with fears of fresh misery as more rain looms.

Indonesia has borne the brunt, with its toll rising to at least 837 dead and 545 missing, authorities said yesterday, many in Sumatra’s northern Aceh province where more than 800,000 people have been displaced.
