Pangandaran (ANTARA News) - The death toll from this week's tsunami on the main Indonesian island of Java rose Saturday to 654, as
the beachside resorts hardest hit began slowly moving back towards normalcy.
The country's national disaster agency said 101 new bodies had been found
following Monday's disaster, which was triggered by a 7.7-magnitude undersea earthquake.
The agency said another 329 were still missing and that 978 people were
injured. Just under 110,000 people remain displaced, mainly around the sleepy tourist resort of Pangandaran which bore the brunt of the giant waves.
