Java, Nov 23 (UNI) Rescuers are battling dozens of aftershocks in the hilly region of West Java as the search for earthquake survivors reaches its third day.
West Java Governor Ridwan Kamil told the BBC that the region had experienced around 140 shocks since Monday's quake. At least 268 people, including many children, have died so far. Around 150 people remain missing and more than 1,000 are injured.
Hundreds of responders have been sent to Cianjur to accelerate the rescue. But their efforts have been stymied by torn-up roads and continuing tremors.
