The death toll from the Indonesia earthquake and tsunami has risen to 1,234

Weather of Arabia - The death toll from an earthquake and tsunami on the island of Sulawesi in Indonesia rose to 1,234.

The National Disaster Control Agency stated that the disaster also damaged more than 65,000 homes.

It is noteworthy that a 7.5-magnitude earthquake hit the region on Friday, followed by a tsunami that reached a height of six meters and swept the coast of the small city of Palu on the west coast of Sulawesi.

Rescuers have not been able to reach many of the affected areas so far, which raises concerns about the death toll rising again.
