Indonesia's Mount Merapi volcano erupted with renewed ferocity today, killing another 54 people and blanketing the surrounding area with ash. Ten days of eruptions have now killed nearly 100 people and forced the evacuation of more than 75,000 persons. Mount Merapi, on the outskirts of Yogyakarta city in Central Java, began spewing deadly clouds of ash and superheated gas last week. Rizal, a forensic doctor from Yogyakarta's police identification unit told Metro TV that 54 badly burned bodies had been brought to Yogyakarta's Sardjito hospital today. He said, the death toll may rise as rescue teams continue to search for victims. Indonesia is also struggling with the aftermath of a tsunami in the remote Mentawai islands off Sumatra last week that killed at least 431.
