Rescuers Dig Through Rubble and Landslides After Indonesia Quake Kills 51

Rescue teams in eastern Indonesia recovered four more bodies Sunday after a magnitude-7.7 earthquake the day before, raising the death toll to 51, officials said. The quake struck the Flores region at a shallow depth, triggering tsunami warnings that were later lifted and followed by at least 235 aftershocks. Survivors faced widespread destruction, while rescuers searched areas isolated by landslides. Authorities reported 101 injured and destroyed or damaged hundreds of homes. Thousands spent nights outdoors while relief efforts focused on restoring power, communications, and access to remote villages.
