WOW!
The death toll from the eruption of Indonesia's Mount Marapi volcano has risen to 22 after rescue teams discovered 11 more bodies, officials said Tuesday.
"We don't expect to find any more survivors," said Abdul Malik, the head of the local rescue service.
More than 50 people were rescued from the mountain on Sunday, while 11 others were initially confirmed dead.
"The safety of our team has to be our priority. It's been raining incessantly since yesterday evening, making paths slippery and hindering the evacuation team," Malik said.
