In Indonesia, at least 85 people have been killed in the latest eruption of Mount Merapi volcano. Dozens are being treated for burns and respiratory problems after a gas cloud hit villages with even greater force than the previous eruptions. A spokesman of the disaster management agency said, the latest deaths bring the overall toll to 128 since the country's most active volcano started erupting on October 26. Many of the dead were in Argomulyo and Bronggang villages, about 15 to 18 kilo metres from the crater of Merapi, as deadly heat clouds hit their village early Friday. A volcanologist said, the Friday's eruption released 1,765 million cubic feet of volcanic material, making it the biggest in a century, as plumes of smoke continued to shoot up more than 30,000 feet. An estimated 75,000 residents have been evacuated from the area. Mount Merapi, one of the world's most active volcanoes, is located in a densely populated area in central Java.
