A

id from the government continues to pour into Cianjur regency in West Java, with President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo also traveling to the scene of Monday’s earthquake that left more than 200 people dead.

Rescue workers are racing to find more than 100 people who are still listed as missing.

The National Disaster Mitigation Agency (BNPB) recorded on Tuesday afternoon that 268 people had died, but they have only identified 122 of the fatalities. Some 1,080 people were reported injured and 151 people remain missing.

“We are still investigating whether or not the 151 people [who are missing] are among the [fatalities] who have not yet been identified,” BNPB head Lt. Gen. Suharyanto said.

More than 58,300 people have been evacuated and at least 12,600 houses are heavily damaged, while 6,500 and 2,000 other houses suffered moderate and mild damage, respectively, authorities said.

Rizky Utama, one of the medical workers at Cimacan Hospital, said as of Tuesday morning, the hospital had handled a total of 237 victims, with 13 among them dead.
