A flood triggered by heavy rains inundated at least 1,700 houses in Cilegon city in Indonesia''s Banten province on Sunday.
"The flood is inundating thousands of houses in Citangkil and Jombang sub-districts," voluntary worker Samsul said.
The flood forced many residents to evacuate to school buildings, mosques and their relatives'' houses, he said.
Most of the flood victims could not save their belongings due to the overflowing of Cimanak river, he said.
No injuries or fatalities have been reported in the flood, Indonesia''s (ANTARA) news agency reported. The flood that swept through the two sub-districts on Sunday followed heavy rains overnight, Samsul said.
The water level in the flood-affected areas was predicted to reach 1 m to 1.5 m.
