Hundreds dead in quake and Tsunami in Indonesia

More than 380 people have now been confirmed dead after a tsunami triggered by a 7.5 strong earthquake hit Indonesia on Friday.

Waves of up to 10ft high swept through Palu on Sulawesi island.


Strong aftershocks have continued today (Saturday). The tsunami has destroyed thousands of homes, hospitals, hotels and shopping centres.

Rescue efforts are under way. More than 350 people have been injured.

“We have not received comprehensive reports yet because communications are cut. Many bodies were found along the shoreline because of the tsunami, but the numbers are still unknown,” Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a spokesman for the agency, told Reuters.
