Indonesia, Mount Merapi: President Susilo declares national disaster as thousands flee new eruptions

Thousands of people are trying to reach Yogyakarta's Maguwoharjo stadium following the most violent eruptions since Mount Merapi erupted on 26 October 2010.

The stadium has been set up as a central reception center as many IDP camps on the slopes of the mountain had to be evacuated over-night.
