More than 80,000 tourists have been left stranded in Bali as the airport of the resort island remained closed for a second day due to volcano ash from Mount Agung. Officials from the disaster agency have raised the alert to the highest level, fearing an imminent major eruption. About 100,000 residents living near the volcano were ordered to get out of exclusion zone. However, many say are reluctant to leave their homes.
