Strong aftershocks continued to rock the coastal city on Saturday morning.
As many as 3,50,000 people have been rendered homeless in the region.
More than 1,200 people are now known to have died in the quake-tsunami that smashed into Sulawesi, Indonesia said on Tuesday. The 7.5-magnitude quake struck just off the central island of Sulawesi, setting off a tsunami that engulfed the coastal city of Palu. People there are growing increasingly desperate for food, fuel and water. Almost 200,000 people are in need of urgent help, the United Nations says, among them thousands of children.
