At least 52 people have been killed after a dam burst on the outskirts of the Indonesian capital, Jakarta.
The dam, which retained water in Lake Situ Gintung in Tangerang District, 20km southwest of Jakarta, dated from the 1930s.
A health ministry official said 52 bodies have been recovered, while hundreds of houses remain under two metres of floodwater.
Rescuers retrieved the dead and injured using inflatable boats or waded through floodwater that in some areas came up to their chests.
President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono cut short a trip to West Java province, where he was campaigning ahead of 9 April parliamentary elections, to visit the disaster scene and offer condolences to the victims.
Vice President Jusuf Kalla also went to the area and promised the government would repair the dam immediately and provide help with rebuilding homes.
