Indonesia Earthquake Death Toll Rises | Roanoke News

Another 6 bodies pulled from rubble in eastern Indonesia as quake death toll hits 53—thousands sleep outside fearing aftershocks, rescue crews battle landslides to reach isolated villages. The magnitude 7.7 tremor struck early Saturday at shallow depth, triggering tsunami warnings that were later canceled. Nearly 1,000 aftershocks recorded, though only a fraction felt; 135 injured. Even tourists in Labuan Bajo stayed outdoors, describing violent shaking and fear of collapse. Roads blocked by landslides slow aid delivery, while relief supplies like food, water, and medicine are being distributed—but restoring power, comms, and access to remote areas remains a huge challenge. Indonesia’s position on the Pacific Ring of Fire makes such disasters tragically routine. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
