Cat is rescued and reunited with owner after surviving a week without food amid floods in Indonesia

Cat is rescued and reunited with owner amid floods in Indonesia Amid the floods that have already killed more than 1,500 people in Southeast Asia, the scene of the rescue of a kitten in Agam, Indonesia, moved the rescue teams. Embul, aged 1, was trapped in the house where he lived with his guardian for a week, without food or water, after the force of the waters caused part of the property to collapse.

According to the Reuters news agency, it is not clear whether the others also managed to survive. “They got trapped when we ran away from the house during the flood. The front part of the house collapsed, but the back part is safe, so they couldn’t get out. I have fourteen cats here, but I don’t know if they all survived. I’m happy to have one with me. ‘It’s okay, Embul, it’s okay’. I’m so happy we found him… I couldn’t sleep,” says Ratnawati in footage of the reunion. Guardian gives water to her kitten after rescue REUTERS At least 800 people died in Indonesia alone due to landslides and floods caused by the passage of a tropical cyclone through the country. According to data from local authorities, updated this Thursday (4), 463 remain missing in three provinces: West Sumatra, North Sumatra and Aceh. The interruption of power supply and access roads is making it difficult to send aid to the most affected regions. Indonesia’s disaster management agency said teams are currently prioritizing clearing blocked roads and repairing damaged infrastructure.
