6:50 pm
thousand two hundred thirty four people were killed and that figure is expected to rise there's been little contact with the city of dongola but pictures of now emerged showing people desperately searching for food water and medicine the military has taken over the airport to help with its efforts to bring in aid to move people who've been injured at least sixty two thousand people have now been displaced. is live for us here on the news out in the port city of on the island of . jamila what are the main issues here now we're into day five of this. well peter just looking at the devastation it is easy to say that the all hail of the impact of this anomaly is yet to be fully realized and the death toll is expected to rise what we know though is that the indonesian government has been sending in military planes delivering much needed help you all personnel and of
6:51 pm
course evacuating some of the civilians that survived the tsunami as you know at the days drag on the situation on the ground becomes critical many of the rescue operations are continuously ongoing nonstop but there are those who are also lucky to make it out alive here's one of the stories. rescuers on the engine asian island are using excavators and bulldozers to paly of rubble there trying to find survivors in clubs tomes and buildings like this eight story hotel in a little. later on monday one team rescued a thirty eight year old was still conscious and talking. giving them hope that there are others who may still be alive but they're also bracing for the worst . indonesia's government is preparing mass graves to bury the dead and stop the spread of diseases. when we found the bodies of the victims having been
6:52 pm
exposed to several days the bodies give over a bad smell we must bury them fast. some two and a half million people live in the areas affected by the seven point five magnitude quake and tsunami that followed these drone pictures show the devastation from the six meter wall of water that pushed inland many survivors have spent the last days desperately searching for loved ones there are reports of children showing up at medical centers searching for their parents. before relatives are still missing or i hope the government can help find them the sun was shining and then it suddenly rose up and buried the houses in my heart i said if this is the time i die what more could i do i just pray to god some desperate survivors are looting shops for food and water indonesia's government is working with international agencies china the u.s. and e.u. to bring in eight experts say it will take weeks until the full extent of the
6:53 pm
devastation is known some of the areas affected are still not accessible and getting aid is now the first priority roads have been cut off by landslides major bridges broken down so physical access is a real challenge the other one is information i mean electricity is down so the communications are down many people the first process simply family tracing in two thousand and four a tsunami struck southeast asia killing some hundred seventy thousand people in indonesia alone in the aftermath of the recent quake and tsunami many are asking why warning system set up after that disaster appeared to have failed and as you know peter there are questions as to whether enough evacuation time was given to civilians and whether really there was even an emergency response shortly after that quake but again if you look at the whole of the devastation you can see
6:54 pm
that the. to conduct all of these efforts you know are become victims themselves so basically there is a breakdown of governance when police rescuers medical workers have also lost their homes and unfortunately possibly their own members of their family so again efforts will be coming externally there is a clear for your easy now to secure the airport to secure the roads leading to follow and of course with the indonesian government leadership through the help of different countries this should immediately happen in the coming days there has been assurances from the national government. there the medical assistance and food are top priorities but we've also spoken to rescuers who are just making their way to the basically and they're also worried for rescuers who have been working overtime so if you look at this devastation there is the need for shifts different shifts of medical workers rescuers who are on the ground working so again this remains to be seen basically the full devastation remains to be seen and that will
6:55 pm
only be able to realize in the coming days at this point emergency response is priority clearing logistic and securing all of the passageways leaving to the devastation area thank you so correspondent andrew thomas is also on the ground covering the story he's been making his way to city you know this report from to us about sixty kilometers away. this scene is a snapshot of the frustrations of trying to get into politics and trying to get people out until about five minutes ago nothing was moving here a tool that has been a landslide on the road up ahead of a local images from here we're about twenty five kilometers away from polish city because of that landslide which happened overnight monday into tuesday it's completely blocked the road they've been in. the country now the stream of multi-byte just in the last ten minutes by the first vehicles that have managed to get through that area has been worked on we've been watching it for hours while we've been stuck here a bigger throwing mud and rocks up the side of the valley trying to clear the road
