Most villagers still go about their daily business, intent on staying at their homes with their personal belongings

Farmers who work near the base of the mountain, are faced with the problem that their fields are buried under ash.

Indonesian rescuers wait as a digging machine tries to save residents trapped in the bunker after Mount Merapi erupted. People fled to the steel shelter when evacuated from the village during a burst of volcanic activity on Mount Merapi. The bunker was later covered with up to 2m of debris as hot as 300 ºC.
