Torrential rains triggered severe flooding across most of the island, causing rivers to burst their banks. The rain has now stopped and water levels are receding but rescuers are still searching for survivors. Two people are missing in Denpasar, where eight of the deaths occurred.

Since Tuesday hundreds of residents have been evacuated as their homes were submerged. Major roads have been shut by landslides and at least two bridges damaged.

"People here were shocked. The flooding was so bad," Bali resident Tasha told BBC News Indonesia. "I thought Bali had adequate drainage."

The provincial government has declared a week-long state of emergency.
