Semarang, Java, Doc, 20. Disastrous floods have hit central Java,|
killing 28 people, injuring at least 39, and sweeping away houses and drainage works.
The floods were caused by days of heavy rain in mountain watersheds. Landslides wiped out hillside villages, and the Laban, Tulungagung and other rivers burst their banks in the coastal reaches.
