双语新闻：印尼火山喷发数百人撤离 Hundreds Evacuated After Indonesia Volcano Erupts

印度尼西亚紧急事务官员说，从一个小岛撤离了500多名居民，那里的一座火山喷发，造成至少五人死亡，其中包括两名儿童。

有关当局说，星期一把帕鲁厄岛的500多名居民疏散到了邻近的弗洛勒斯岛，帕鲁厄岛的罗卡滕达火山于上星期六喷发，造成伤亡。目前还有数千人等待撤离。

自去年10月以来，罗卡滕达火山一直显示活动增多的迹象。

在罗卡滕达火山上次喷发后，已有数千名帕鲁厄岛居民转移到弗洛勒斯岛。

印度尼西亚有数十座活火山。印尼地处一个地壳大断层上，位于太平洋和印度洋之间的这个大断层被称做“火环”。

Indonesian emergency officials say they have evacuated more than 500 residents from a tiny island where a volcano has erupted, killing at least five people, including two children.

Authorities said Monday the 500 evacuees from Palue have been moved to the neighboring island of Flores after Saturday's deadly eruption of Mount Rokatenda. Thousands more are awaiting evacuation.

Rokatenda has been showing signs of increased activity since October.

Thousands of Palue residents had already evacuated to Flores before the latest eruption.

Indonesia has dozens of active volcanoes and straddles major tectonic fault lines known as the "Ring of Fire" between the Pacific and Indian oceans.
