Quake leaves 57 dead, dozens missing
The death toll rose to 57 today as Indonesian rescue workers pulled bodies from village homes buried in a landslide triggered by a powerful earthquake that severely damaged more than 10,000 buildings across West Java.
At least 110 people were treated in hospital with injuries from yesterday’s 7.0 magnitude quake, centred just off the coast of the densely populated island, Disaster Management Agency spokesman Priyadi Kardono said. Ten were in critical condition.
