Lamanele village on Adonara Island was the hardest hit with 60 bodies found to date and 12 missing.
On nearby Lembata Island, landslides caused by heavy rains in dozens of villages have also killed at least 28 people and left 44 people missing, according to the National Disaster Mitigation Agency (NDMA).

Hundreds of police, soldiers and residents dug debris with their bare hands, shovels and hoes to search for buried victims.
In total, at least 119 people were killed on multiple islands in Indonesia and 27 people were killed in neighboring East Timor during a flood and landslide that occurred on April 4.

Thousands of houses were destroyed and thousands of people were evacuated because of the weather conditions mentioned above, which is forecast to continue at least until April 9 when the storm moves southward to Australia.
Search and rescue efforts are being thwarted by heavy rain and distance, especially where roads are damaged.

Rescuers and tons of food and medicine are being deployed from Makassar on the island of Sulawesi, but the transport process is difficult due to the lack of naval facilities. NDMA director Doni Monardo called on the private sector to support the rescue effort.
Indonesian President Joko Widodo on April 6 held a Cabinet meeting in Jakarta to accelerate the search and rescue campaign.
