The authorities in Indonesia say at least 832 people have died after Friday's magnitude 7-point-5 earthquake and tsunami... as aftershocks continue.
Some five hundred people have been injured.
The search continues for those thought to be trapped under debris in Palu, the city closest to the epicenter.
The tsunami waves are believed to have been as high as six meters there... and they continued to hit the city even after the tsunami warning was lifted.
The airport in Palu is closed because of damage to the runway.
The South Korean embassy in Indonesia said it's trying to locate one South Korean national who was in the region.
Finding the unnamed person is proving difficult due to power outages and lack of telecomunications.
The South Korean foreign ministry has aslso warned people not to travel to the affected area.
