Mount Sinabung, located in the Karo plateau in Indonesia's North Sumatra province, erupted on sunday November 24th. Several thousand people left their homes overnight, rasing the total number of those who have fled since the volcano began rumbling to around 12,300, according to Indonesia's national disaster agency. The volcano continued to emit volcanic ash, creating an 8,000m (26,247ft) plume of ash, as thousands of residents remain in temporary shelters out of fear for more eruptions, according to local media.
