Indonesia Says Death Toll From August 15 Earthquake Reaches 100
- On Monday, the death toll from the 7.7-magnitude earthquake in Indonesia's East Nusa Tenggara province reached 100, disaster agency chief Suharyanto said, as relief operations continued for a 10th day assisting about 180,000 evacuated people.
- The 7.7-magnitude quake struck Flores on August 15, damaging more than 73,000 homes; Indonesia straddles the "Pacific Ring of Fire," a seismically active zone where earthquakes are frequent.
- Rescue workers are clearing debris while "anticipating the possibility of discovering more victims," said Fathur Rahman, the search mission coordinator, as more than 40,000 people remain in tents and makeshift shelters.
- East Nusa Tenggara governor Emanuel Melkiades Laka Lena said local governments in seven regencies have resumed operations "to accelerate post-disaster recovery and serve the community's administrative needs," while grocery stores reopened ten days after the quake.
- This earthquake marks Indonesia's deadliest since 2022, when a 5.6-magnitude quake killed hundreds in West Java; Flores experienced one of the country's deadliest disasters in 1992, when an earthquake and tsunami killed about 2,500 people.
