Indonesia quake-tsunami death toll jumps to 384: disaster agency
JAKARTA, Sept 29, 2018 (AFP) – The death toll from Indonesia’s quake and
tsunami jumped to 384, the disaster agency said Saturday, as hospitals
struggled to cope with hundreds of injured and rescuers scrambled to reach
the stricken region.
So far, it said all the deaths were recorded in tsunami-struck Palu, a day
after waves 1.5 metres (five feet) high slammed into the city of 350,000 in
central Sulawesi Island.
