Mount Merapi: Massive aid operation underway to help surivors of volcanic eruptions
Iyoyo, a 48 year old farmer, believes the worst is still to come: "I know the characteristics of the mountain" he explains. "Every hundred years we have a major eruption. The worst is still to come." Iyoyo fled his village three days ago as it was engulfed by an avalanche of hot gas and ash. He has now found shelter in Yogyakarta's main football stadium.
