At least 384 people killed in Indonesia earthquake & tsunami (videos)

At least 540 have been injured

Newsroom September 29 12:37

More than 380 people have been confirmed dead after a tsunami triggered by a magnitude 7.5 earthquake hit an Indonesian city on Friday.

Waves up to 3m (10ft) high swept through Palu on Sulawesi island.

Video on social media shows people screaming and fleeing in panic and a mosque among the buildings damaged.

Strong aftershocks continue to rock the city. Thousands of homes have collapsed, along with hospitals, hotels and shopping centres.

Rescue efforts are under way, though hampered by a major power cut. The main road to Palu has been blocked due to a landslide, and a key bridge brought down.
Indonesia’s disaster agency said at least 384 people had been killed, but the number is expected to rise. At least 540 have been injured.
