The LATEST data told that more than 400 people were killed and over 100 hundred are still missing.

Many residents in Padang ( West Sumatra) had to change their house.

Also damages and bad weather have delayed efforts to reach the interested area.

 

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 

Also heavy rain has prevented helicopters from accessing the area, and nobody could reach the islands,

also because the dock had been destroyed.

The earthquake occurred around 7 hours after the eruption of the Merapi Volcano,

on the Indonesian Island of Java but experts say there is a very little chance that the

two events are connected.
