Jakarta/Madikeri: Rescue workers in Indonesia continued a desperate search for survivors this morning, two days after a powerful earthquake hit the island of Sulawesi which triggered a tsunami, killing more than 400 people and injuring hundreds after the 7.5-magnitude earthquake hit on Friday.
Indonesian Disaster Management Agency has put the death toll at 405 early today, based on the number of bodies that had been recovered. More than 400 people were badly injured. Many people are still believed to have been buried under the rubble of buildings and houses and evacuation efforts were slowed due to lack of heavy equipment and personnel.
