Indone­sia has been hit by a string of other deadly quakes­PALU: The death toll from Indonesia’s quake and tsunami disaster has soared to 832 and could climb higher, the disaster agency said Sunday. “We all panicked and ran out of the house” when the quake hit, said Anser Bachmid, a 39-year-old Palu resident. About 17,000 people had been evacuated, the government disaster agency said and that number was expected to soar. A key access road had been badly damaged and was partially blocked by landslides, the disaster agency said. That Boxing Day quake triggered a tsunami that killed 220,000 throughout the region, including 168,000 in Indonesia.
