The number of people killed in Indonesia from last week's earthquake and tsunami has risen to more than 1350.

Indonesian soldiers bury quake victims in a mass grave in Poboya after an earthquake and tsunami hit the area on 28 September.

The death toll jumped yesterday from a previous confirmed figure of 844.

The 7.5 magnitude quake struck just off the central island of Sulawesi, setting off a tsunami that hit the coastal city of Palu.

Indonesian Red Cross officials have told the BBC that 34 Indonesian students whose bodies were found under a church buried by a mudslide were among those killed.

Vice‑President Jusuf Kalla has said the final death toll could be in the thousands while the Red Cross estimates that more than 1.6 million people have been affected.
