View all search resultsFour days after a powerful earthquake struck East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), residents in remote parts of East Manggarai were still waiting for assistance on Tuesday, with many sleeping in makeshift tents as continuing aftershocks kept them away from their damaged homes.
The Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) data showed that 1,624 aftershocks had struck NTT as of Monday, including 23 with magnitudes above 5.0. The strongest aftershock recorded so far measured magnitude 6.2.
