Quake survivors plead for help
Thousands of exhausted and grieving survivors dug through their crumpled homes today searching for clothes, food and valuables after a powerful earthquake hit central Indonesia, killing more than 3,700.
The magnitude-6.3 quake struck early on Saturday and injured thousands more in the heart of densely populated Java island, in the country’s worst disaster since the 2004 tsunami. It also triggered fears that a nearby rumbling volcano would erupt and caused serious damage to the world-famous 9th century Prambanan temple.
