Last weekend, Indonesia was hit by a 7.5-magnitude quake and an ensuing tsunami that has claimed over 1,300 lives. The 7.5-magnitude quake struck just off the central island of Sulawesi, setting off a tsunami that engulfed the coastal city of Palu.
BBC on Wednesday quoted local disaster response officials as saying that the number of people known to have died in Friday's earthquake and tsunami in Indonesia has risen to 1,347.
Aid supplies are beginning to arrive in the city, where survivors have no access to running water or electricity.
