Rescuers search through rubble to look for survivors

Rescuers in Indonesia are searching the rubble of collapsed buildings for survivors after a powerful earthquake, with the toll expected to rise.

At least 57 people are confirmed dead and thousands of homes ruined after the 7.0-magnitude quake hit on Wednesday.

More than 100 people are in hospital and dozens are still missing.

Damaged roads and poor weather are hampering efforts to get heavy rescue equipment to the worst-hit areas in the West Javan district of Cianjur.

At least 40 people remained missing in the village of Cikangkareng after a landslide buried a row of homes.

Police, military personnel and villagers are using their bare hands to try to reach survivors buried in the rubble.

Let's see if they can take care of themselves this time. They still have billions we gave them from the last episode.That should be enough. We need help ourselves.
