Qa'dah 28, 1431 H/ Nov. 05, 2010, SPA -- The death toll from Indonesia's volcano has climbed to 102 in more than a week after a blistering gas cloud ripped through a mountainside village, AP reported. Hospital spokesman Heru Nugroho said 58 bodies were brought in after the inferno. More than 70 others were injured, many of them critically with burns. Men with ash-covered faces streamed down Mount Merapi on motorcycles followed by truckloads of women and crying children, following the massive eruption just before midnight Friday. Soldiers helped clear the bodies from the hard-hit village of Bronggang, located 9 miles (15 kilometers) from the crater, and up until Friday considered to be within the «safe zone.» The toll since Oct. 26 _ including 44 killed before Friday's massive gas burst _ stood at 102.
