JAKARTA, Feb. 4 (Xinhua) -- Floods, which have paralyzed much of Indonesian capital city Jakarta and its surrounding areas, became worsening Sunday as overnight rains in the upper areas sparked overflows much more water from rivers in the capital, according to official sources.

    Nine people have been killed and one was missing in the floods. Meanwhile, about 120,000 victims, who have fled their houses cried for foods, clothes and other accommodations, while many others, who were still trapped in their houses, asked for evacuations, the sources said.

    Local Elshinta news radio reported Sunday that thousands of flood victims in Berlan area in Matraman sub district, Central Jakarta, have not received any aid although their houses have been inundated since Saturday.

    In Bekasi municipality, hundreds of other flood victims are still trapped in their houses in Duta Keranji because initially they ignored the call for immediate flee when water started inundating their houses.

    "We hope that we will be evacuated soon because we have posed food shortage," Agung, one of the residents of Duta Keranji was quoted as saying.

    Two days of incessant rain over Jakarta and the upper areas -- Depok and Bogor in West Java -- have triggered very bad floods in the capital since Friday.

    The waters have inundated more than 20,000 homes, schools and hospitals in poor and wealthy districts, forcing authorities to cut off electricity and water supplies, and paralyzed transport networks.

    Flood victims currently stayed in temporary shelters such as mosques, schools and government agencies. Some are holding out on the second floors of their homes, refusing to be relocated by soldiers in rubber dinghies.

    Government agencies are also struggling to provide aid to the homeless, but there are still many people, who have not been reached by aid, were still trapped in the roofs of their houses.

    Indonesia's Meteorology and Geophysics Agency (BMG) is forecasting rain for the next two weeks.

    Jakarta is regularly struck with floods though not on the scales in recent days. Dozens of slum areas near rivers are washed out each year. Residents either refuse or are too poor to vacate the districts.
