Indonesia quake death toll increases to more than 6,200
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.
Though international relief workers have poured into the quake area, many villagers complained they were not getting the help they needed. Some searched for scraps of tin and other materials to rebuild crumbled homes, while others blocked traffic to beg for money.
