higher ground convinced that their lives were in danger there's no indication of whether it's an army job and remain an easy because the volcano cost to have caused such as a tsunami is still erupting and there are fears of a humanitarian crisis as well in the disaster zone thousands have been left homeless by the tsunami. a safe haven for these children some desperately needed and aid is reaching the evacuation centers bought with clean water and medical supplies now running low the fear of disease is looming thousands here are too terrified to return home. and thank god they give us food and water it's better than at home i'm afraid there. and their fears are well founded with the cracker toa volcano still erupting believed to be the cause of the deadly tsunami experts warn that more killer waves could slam into the devastated

region most of those who do return home to salvage what they can a faced with a wasteland of collapsed houses and corrugated iron. in order to survive people have no choice but to try and return to normal as quickly as possible. but this market vendors sell the remnants of anything they can find. it in that manner only just opening now people are only coming in now as the last two days have been quiet we haven't made any money but meanwhile the grim recovery effort continues but the true extent of the damage from saturday's tsunami is get to unfold with rescuers are only now reaching areas that were previously inaccessible. for more on this now we're joined

by correspondent on a he's ended up one in a western job which is one of the worst affected areas now on a how is the search for survivors going up the death toll there. i spoke to the search command manager earlier today and he told us that right now it's really a race against time as they continue to search for those who have been reported missing i need to emphasize the word reported because this area of western java where the tsunami hit this isn't really a residential area where you would have a record of how many people in there here and where they live that would give search operations an indicator of where to start looking and how many just are looking for when the tsunami hit last saturday it was a period of holiday gravity in this mostly touristy town there were many people who came here to watch concerts to attend parties and whatnot and there is no record of

how many people up there were that were here for those events and to us that's keeping that's a blind spot for our operations how many to go to what and where to start looking for them. many people were called off guard on and you traveled through the disaster zone today can you tell us what you've been seeing and what you've been hearing. i'll go first to what we've been hearing we continue to hear the rumble of another cut away from here in western java where we are and that is an indication that the volcano remains active and those dorothy's have said that as long as the volcano remains active there will be a possibility of future action amin's and that's again a little bit of uncertainty and a point of anxiety here because the last number that hit last saturday there was no advance warning and. no has been active for the last couple of months to to up. it wasn't even the strongest eruption so while people are like standing on their

toes right now whether you know there's going to be a next in a while we continue to hear nothing from it so a rumbling in the back. of the building in the background isn't the only worry for indonesians food and water is also a growing concern how are the relief officials dealing with that ana. the relief operations they told us earlier today has started to come and they have started setting up soup kitchens in the various evacuation centers but the concern now is these are those areas that remain isolated because they are very remote and the rains continued to did the tearing operations so some roads remain impossible just so that you know even for us as we traveled from one point to another it was almost like we were crawling through the traffic the streets are just mostly to remains and there's been continuous rain since this morning and yesterday that have

to be here in operations making some roads continue to be possible. that a correspondent on a console in the western job at the nami disaster zone thank you for speaking with us. now to some of the other stories making news around the world. suicide bombers have attacked libya's foreign ministry in the capital tripoli one of the attackers detonated his explosives another was shot by guards before he could do so security officials say three people have been careless. monday's. bomb attack on a bold government compound and killed at least forty three people according to officials it was one of the deadliest assaults on the afghan capital at the end of one of afghanistan's most violent years no group has yet claimed responsibility. and mexico the new governor of. her senator husband have died in
