Thousands of people on the Indonesian island of Bali have been evacuated from their homes amid fears that Mount Agung could erupt for the first time in over 50 years.
A 12 kilometer exclusion zone has been set up around the volcano, on the northeastern side of Bali and more than 48,000 people have been evacuated.
Reports say that 48,540 people were being housed in 301 temporary shelters while attempts are underway to relocate 14,000 others from areas threatened by the volcano.
Some villagers are reluctant to leave their crops and livestock.
A level four warning alert ‑ the highest possible ‑ is also in place.
