🔴 Indonesia hit by two powerful earthquakes

Rescuers combed through debris for survivors on Saturday after a powerful earthquake struck off Indonesia's eastern Flores island, killing at least 47 people, according to disaster officials. The national disaster management agency (BNPB) raised the death toll from 40 late Saturday, and rescue official Fathur Rahman said 50 people were injured in the 7.7-magnitude quake. Suharyanto, who leads the BNPB, said earlier that people were trapped in several buildings. "These will be the initial targets of the disaster response teams," said Suharyanto, who like many Indonesians uses one name. Nearly 160 houses, dozens of educational and health facilities and other public buildings were damaged when the earthquake struck the popular tourist island in Indonesia's east, the BNPB reported. The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies said preparations were under way to bring aid to some 2,000 people in temporary shelters.
