<p>An Indonesian ferry transporting 271 people caught fire on Wednesday off the coast of Bali, and rescue efforts are underway as the number of casualties and those injured is unknown.</p>
<p>The Mutiara Timur I, including 236 passengers and 35 personnel, was engulfed in flames about a mile from Karangasem beach, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/business-fires-indonesia-evacuations-bali-b41ab6a4196debbf30162c130aa4e4cc?taid=6374dbe7b9e4b40001bcf01b&amp;utm_campaign=TrueAnthem&amp;utm_medium=AP&amp;utm_source=Twitter" target="_blank" rel="noopener">according to</a> the Associated Press.</p>
<p>“We are still focused on evacuation efforts,” Bali’s search and rescue agency head, Gede Darmada, told the AP.</p>
<p>Numerous naval vessels and local fishing boats were reportedly working to evacuate people to two navy ships in the rescue effort.</p>
<p>Videos posted to social media from those on the scene showed smoke emerging from multiple points across the City Line vessel, along with some people who had been rescued on a neighboring boat.</p>

<p>The fire appeared to be focused near the rear of the ferry. In another video, passengers were gathered at the front of the ship awaiting rescue.</p>

<p>Travel by ferry is common in the nation comprised of more than 17,000 islands. Though rare, ferry incidents have led to mass tragedies in the past.</p>
<p>In May, a ferry in Indonesia carrying <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/world/rest-of-world/25-missing-after-ferry-sinks-in-indonesia/articleshow/91864109.cms" target="_blank" rel="noopener">42 people</a> sank in the Central Sulawesi province. In 2018, another with 200 people <a href="https://7news.com.au/news/disaster-and-emergency/six-dead-as-ferry-sinks-near-bali-c-3263820" target="_blank" rel="noopener">sank</a> in the North Sumatra area of Indonesia, killing 167 people.</p>
<p>The event also comes as the leaders of the G20 are meeting in Bali, Indonesia. Heads of state for the nations, including President Joe Biden, have joined in the event.</p>
<p>Biden has met with Chinese President Xi Jinping and other world leaders, addressing many international political issues, including the war in Ukraine, Taiwan, and climate change.</p>
<p>After his three-hour meeting with Xi on Monday, Biden said that he does not believe China has imminent plans to invade Taiwan.</p>
<p>“I made it clear that our policy on Taiwan has not changed at all,” Biden <a href="https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/nov/14/taiwan-looms-large-as-joe-biden-prepares-to-meet-xi-jinping-in-bali" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told</a> reporters. “It’s the same exact position we have always had. I made it clear that I want to see cross-strait issues peacefully resolved so that it never has to come to that. I’m convinced that he understood exactly what I was saying, and I understood what he was saying.”</p>
