More than 80,000 people are fleeing the latest eruptions on Indonesia's Mount Merapi, following more violent eruptions overnight Friday. Hot gas and ash erupted violently sending survivors fleeing their homes and reception centers set-up in the past days. More than 60 people were killed overnight bringing the total death toll since the volcano erupted on 26 October to over 120.

More than 5,000  survivors are now being directed by local authorities to a football stadium in down-town Yogyakarta. The president of Indonesia ahs now declared the emergency a "national disaster.

Proposed script:

The survivors just keep arriving, on motorbikes and on trucks, fleeing to this stadium in down town Yogyakarta, By this morning some 4,000 people were seeking shelter here, tired, hungry and thirsty. They try to find space among the crowd anywhere in the stadium. Soldiers help distribute food and water.

For many it was an all-night ordeal escaping the latest eruptions of Mount Merapi. Local red cross volunteers distribute sleeping mats, food and water. Medical teams evacuate the sick and injured to the nearest hospital. According to a red cross volunteer another 5,000 people are expected to arrive here in the coming hours…many still covered in volcanic ash, visibly shocked by their ordeal. Supplies from local authorities, NGOs and private donors are being brought in, much needed as more displaced arrive seeking shelter .

But among the chaos, a proud mother with her newborn baby already wearing a face mask against the volcanic ash which stings the throat and eyes.

And more survivors keep arriving, clutching their few belongings having left everything behind on the mountain.

It has been ten days since the volcano erupted violently and every day the eruptions have become more intense sending columns of hot ash and gas into the sky and down the slopes. Some 80,000 are now reported fleeing the area around the volcano and the death tole now stands at above 120…and mountain continues to vent deadly hot gas and ash.
