Thousands of Indonesian students take to the streets as President Prabowo resists declaring a national disaster over toxic haze

Over 500 protesters massed outside the Central Kalimantan governor's office in Palangkaraya on Friday, a Borneo city turned orange by smoke. Health ministry figures show 333,470 residents have suffered acute respiratory illness since mid-August, up from nearly 280,000 a week before. An emergency declaration would free up funds for medical bills. The fires have scorched 1.9 million hectares this year.

One placard warned officials: 'If we burn, you burn with us!'

Bandung student Vincent Thomas: 'We want the officials responsible to be held accountable.'

Protests hit Jakarta and other cities on the second anniversary of Prabowo's government.
