Venesia van batavia

4th day of Jakarta flood , road are becoming one with the rivers !

People are evacuating themselves - those who have nowhere to go have to stay in a kind of emergency refugee post. They are a schools, mosque or just below a highway. It is assumed that few hundred thousands people are on these post - scattered all arround Jakarta.

The water came & destruct everything, your furniture, kitchen set ,electronic, house, car engine, car interior - and so many other things.

There're some casualities too , mostly old people or baby - some are drowned in the stream , some few got hit from electricity.

The governor said, "Don't over - politize this disaster , this a natural phenomena !" - he is the one who recently said there will be no flood this year - somewhere in last November.

I saw a statement on TV, "Never before a kind of this flood, since Dutch time - but here we are ! " , I hope this statement will not be stated again in the future -but yes most of the canal are still the old one made by the dutch - at that time perhaps they didn't see that the population will be 18 million people - but we do !
