Haeril HALIM, Agnes ANYA – January 25, 2021<\/p>\n
A powerful earthquake rocked Indonesia’s Sulawesi island Friday, killing at least 37 people, levelling a hospital and severely damaging other buildings, authorities said, as they warned there were people still trapped beneath rubble.<\/p>\n
Hundreds were also injured when the 6.2-magnitude quake struck in the early hours, triggering panic among the terrified residents of the island, which was hit by a huge quake and tsunami two and a half years ago that killed thousands.<\/p>\n
So far, 29 bodies have been hauled from beneath crumpled buildings in Mamuju, a city of about 110,000 in West Sulawesi province, while another eight were killed south of the area after the quake struck.<\/p>\n
“We don’t know how many more are missing,” said Arianto from the rescue agency in Mamuju, who like many Indonesians goes by one name.<\/p>\n
“There are still people trapped beneath the rubble.”<\/p>\n
Rescuers were searching for more than a dozen patients and staff trapped under a levelled Mamuju hospital.<\/p>\n
“The hospital is flattened — it collapsed,” Arianto said.<\/p>\n
Earlier Friday, rescuers said they were also trying to reach a family of eight who were under their destroyed home.<\/p>\n
At least one hotel had partially collapsed, while the regional governor’s office also suffered extensive damage after the quake struck at 2:18 am local time Friday (1818 GMT Thursday).<\/p>\n
A Mamuju resident said damage across the city was severe.<\/p>\n
