Harsh weather is again causing concern in the region, with floods in both Vietnam and Indonesia.

Flash flooding in a remote area of Indonesia's West Papua province has left many people dead or missing, and most other survivors are homeless. The local government of West Papua has sent people to assess the extent of the damage in Teluk Wondama district, where schools and offices have been badly hit and bridges have collapsed.
