Indonesia evacuates villagers as Mount Lewotobi volcano erupts

Authorities in Indonesia are evacuating villagers near the erupting Mount Lewotobi volcano, which has been active since November 3. The danger zone has been expanded from 8 km to 9 km around the volcano. Limited vehicle availability has hindered evacuations, with only those willing to leave being assisted. Some villagers, like Matheus Budi, are choosing to evacuate on their own. The volcano, standing at 1,584 meters, continues to emit volcanic material, prompting increased safety measures and a growing number of evacuees.
