50K Evacuated From Bali, As Nation Is On Volcano Alert For Imminent Eruption<\/a><\/h3>\n

\"Amed<\/p>\n

Fears of an imminent eruption on the Indonesian tourist island of Bali have led to the evacuation of an estimated 50,000 people. \u00a0The Mount Agung volcano is going to erupt, scientists say.<\/p>\n

Waskita Sutadewa, the spokesman for the disaster mitigation agency in Bali, said\u00a0people have scattered to all corners of the island and some have crossed<\/a> to the neighboring island of Lombok. Indonesian authorities raised the volcano\u2019s alert status to the highest level on Friday<\/a> following a dramatic increase in seismic activity. It last erupted in 1963, killing about 1,100 people.<\/p>\n

Villagers are staying in temporary camps, sports centers, village halls, or with friends and relatives. Some do return to the exclusion zone during the day to tend to their livestock or shift the animals to areas further from the volcano for their safety. Others say they are selling their cows because they don\u2019t know when they\u2019ll be able to return.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s obviously an awful thing. We want to be out of here just to be safe,\u201d said an Australian woman at Bali\u2019s airport who identified herself as Miriam.<\/a> National Disaster Mitigation Agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho said hundreds of thousands of face masks will be distributed in Bali as part of government humanitarian assistance that includes thousands of mattresses and blankets. Indonesia is prone to seismic upheaval due to its location on the Pacific \u201cRing of Fire,\u201d an arc of volcanoes and fault lines encircling the Pacific Basin.<\/p>\n
