Authorities extended a danger zone around a rumbling volcano in western Indonesia on Sunday after it spewed blistering gas farther than expected, sending panicked residents streaming down the sides of the mountain.

Mount Sinabung’s booming explosion just after midnight triggered a panicked evacuation. Men with ash-covered faces streamed down the scorched slopes on motorcycles, followed by truckloads of women and children, many crying. Officials barked orders on bullhorns as rocks and debris rained from the sky.

More than 50 eruptions on Saturday sent lava and searing gas tumbling out of the volcano in North Sumatra province down the south-eastern slopes up to three miles away, said Indonesia’s disaster mitigation agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho. The volcano was still spitting clouds of gas and lava as high as 13,000ft in several eruptions on Sunday, but no casualties were reported. Mr Nugroho said that the danger zone south-east of the volcano was extended from three to four miles from the crater’s smouldering mouth.

More than 20,000 people have been evacuated from villages around the crater into several temporary shelters since authorities raised the alert status for Sinabung to the highest level in November.

“We’ve lost everything. We wonder about our lives after this disaster,” said Anton Sitepu, who was among the villagers in a cramped shelter in Telagah village.

A long stay at an evacuation shelter combined with illness are believed to be behind the death of an evacuee of Mt. Sinabung in Karo regency, North Sumatra; increasing the number of evacuee deaths to 14 since the volcano erupted in September. The suffering will likely continue for some time as there are no indications of a decrease in volcanic activity.

Mt. Sinabung Disaster Mitigation Media Center head Jhonson Tarigan revealed Tuesday the latest death was Bunin Karo, 85, an evacuee from Kutambelin village, who died on Sunday. Jhonson said the reasons behind the 14 deaths varied from depression due to long stays in the shelters, respiratory illness, high blood pressure and diabetes. Besides the deaths, he added, as many as 35 internally displaced persons were being treated in the nearby hospital while 500 others received outpatient treatments.

Meanwhile, Mt. Sinabung Emergency Action head Lt. Col. Lesta Karo Karo, said the displaced persons fell ill as a result of exhaustion from staying too long in the shelters as well as weather and environmental factors.

“The volcano is still active, meaning that they should stay in the shelters until the situation returns to normal,” he said.
