Date
A 7.5-magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami occurred just off Sulawesi island in Indonesia on Friday September 28, 2018. The deadly earthquake and tsunami have left at least 844 people dead with fear that the death toll will continue to rise. Dozens of people may be underneath the rubble of one hotel alone, the Roa-Roa in the devastated resort of Palu, Indonesia. The region of Donggala, north of Palu and close to the epicenter of the earthquake is of particular concern. The region comprises nearly 300,000 people.
