    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Zhafirah Zahrim Febrina, one of the rescued hikers, is now in a nearby hospital with her father and uncle after being trapped on the mountain on a hiking trip with 18 school friends, AFP reported.

    A video on social media showed the climbers being evacuated, their faces and hair smeared with volcanic dust and rain.

    “Some suffered from burns because it was very hot, and they have been taken to the hospital,” Rudy Rinaldi, head of the West Sumatra Disaster Mitigation Agency told AFP.

    Rescue teams were working through the night to help bring mountaineers down to safety, West Sumatra’s natural resources conservation agency said.

    Falling ash blanketted several villages and blocked sunlight, National Disaster Management Agency spokesperson Abdul Muhari said.

    About 1,400 people live on Marapi’s slopes in Rubai and Gobah Cumantiang, the nearest villages are five to six kilometres from the peak.
