The death toll from the flooding that struck two Indonesian islands, including tourist hotspot Bali, rose to 23 on Friday, officials said, with five other people still missing.
Torrential rain late Tuesday triggered floods and landslides across Bali, the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) said, adding four more people have been found dead and two others are unaccounted for.
The additional deaths come on top of 14 already reported on Bali and five on the island of Flores.
BNPB chief Suharyanto, who like many Indonesians goes by one name, said the agency had distributed aid including food, clothes and beds.
He estimated losses from the disaster reached around 25 billion rupiah ($1.52 million).
