On Sunday Mount
Sinabung erupted in Jakarta, Indonesia. Mount Sinabung has an altitude of about
2,600 meters and is the highest mountain in North Sumatra. The eruption caused
more than 6,000 people to evacuate the area. It covered North Sumatra, the
province on the Indonesian island of Sumatra, in ash. The inhalation of the ash
caused five people to suffer from breathing problems, but luckily there were no
casualties. The evacuees took shelter in eight main evacuation centers. They
were given rice and some of them actually returned to their homes momentarily
to make sure their farms and livestock were doing okay. They then returned to
the evacuation center.
