Regions previously not reached by relief teams in remote areas of Indonesia’s quake zone reported hundreds of additional deaths, pushing the death toll from last weekend’s disaster to more than 6,200, officials said today.

International relief poured into Indonesia’s earthquake disaster zone today, but for many of the estimated 647,000 displaced people, aid was not arriving quickly enough and healthcare remained patchy.

International rescue workers today rushed to get medical care, water and shelter to some 650,000 people displaced by Indonesia’s earthquake, aided by the reopening of the airport closest to the disaster zone.

The first suspect to face charges in the 2004 bombing of the Australian Embassy in Jakarta was sentenced to three and a half years in prison today for assisting the attack’s perpetrators.

An Indonesian court has sentenced two men to 15 years in prison for helping finance last year's terrorist bombings on the tourist island of Bali by robbing a jewellery store.
