Residents on Indonesia's Sumatra island huddled in tents outside their damaged homes today, traumatised by the latest of more than 40 aftershocks since a huge earthquake struck two days ago.
Indonesia's meteorology agency today issued the latest in a series of tsunami warnings after another strong quake in Sumatra, although it was lifted about an hour later.
There have been a series of tremors ranging in intensity from 4.9 to 7.8 since Wednesday's 8.4 quake, repeatedly setting off tsunami warnings in Indian Ocean countries.
There have, however, been no reports of the sort of widespread tsunami that caused the death and devastation of the huge waves in 2004, which followed a quake of over 9 magnitude.
At least two areas in Bengkulu province were hit by tsunamis after Wednesday's quake. There were no casualties.
Rustam Pakaya, head of the Indonesian health ministry's crisis centre in Jakarta, said 14 people had been killed and 56 injured across the region since Wednesday's quake.
International aid agencies have sent teams to assess aid needs, although many outlying districts have not yet been reached.
