Thousands of people on the Indonesian island of Sumatra have returned home after the weekend eruption of Mount Sinabung, despite fears that it may not yet be safe. Mount Sinabung erupted for the first time in 400 years on Sunday and Monday, sending plumes of smoke into the air and displacing at least 30,000 people. There are still around 23,000 internally displaced people (IDPs), living in camps. And volcanologists say the situation remains at the alert level.
