The death toll from a devastating earthquake and Tsunami that hit the Sulawesi island in Indonesia, on Friday has crossed 1,200.
The National Disaster Mitigation Agency said the number of those killed has risen to 1,234, up from the previous count of 844.
A 7.5 magnitude earthquake had triggered Tsunami waves as high as six metres, which swept ashore at the small city of Palu, on the west coast of Sulawesi. Rescuers are yet to reach many affected areas leading to fears that the toll could still rise
