Rescuers giving up hope of finding quake survivors

Rescuers said hopes of finding more survivors from a devastating earthquake that killed more than 5,400 people were waning today, as aid workers from around the world arrived in the disaster zone in central Indonesia.

About 20 US Marines arrived on two military cargo planes in the historic city of Yogyakarta and unloaded heavy lifting machinery and a portable field hospital, as Malaysians, Chinese and Japanese joined Indonesian teams providing medical care and emergency supplies to some 200,000 people left homeless.
