Deadly floods and landslides have devastated Northern Sumatra, leaving villages cut off and homes buried under mud.
Survivors like Danni Sianipar escaped as a mountainside collapsed on her house. Roads are destroyed, and aid only reached some areas after days.
The Indonesian military is now delivering food and medical supplies by foot and helicopter, as soaked soil and heavy rain raise fears of more landslides.
