Devastating photos of the aftermath of the Indonesia quake-tsunamiMANILA, Philippines — The powerful earthquake and tsunami that hit Indonesia's central Sulawesi has claimed many victims as rescuers scrambled to reach the stricken region. Partially covered bodies on the ground were found near the shore, the morning after tsunami waves 1.5 meters (five feet) high slammed into the city. The shallow 7.5 magnitude tremor was more powerful than a series of quakes that killed hundreds on the Indonesian island of Lombok in July and August. There was no official death toll, but the head of the country's search and rescue agency Muhammad Syaugi said that local staff had found a large number of dead. Below are photos of the aftermath of the earthquake-tsunami that hit Indonesia from Agence France-Press.
