let's get more now and from our correspondents in sulawesi.irst to our correspondent jonathan head, who is in the devastated city of palu. the areas hit by the wave arejust appalling. i mean, just dreadful sort of scenes of absolute, complete and total destruction. i think there needs to be a more systematic effort by the authorities, if they are going to find people who might still be alive. it is all a bit haphazard. there aren't really enough people here, there aren't clearly people in charge. there are lots of volunteers coming in, but in terms of a functioning town, palu has ceased to function at all. there's no normal services, and the living themselves are without absolutely anything. i mean, it's extraordinary to meet people rushing up to your car and begging you for water. there is no drinking water. they've got no power. it is absolutely desperate. i mean, part of the problem is this is a very, very isolated place, and it took me 21 hours to drive here today. the airport, as rebecca said, is damaged. it's very hard to get aid in. and
