Hopes dim for quake-hit Sumatra
Sunday, October 4, 2009
Aid workers in quake-hit Sumatra say they are increasingly unlikely to find survivors under the rubble, as they push into devastated remote areas.
Four days after the 7.6 tremor, the scale of the disaster is becoming clear, with entire villages destroyed.
Widespread road damage is preventing teams from reaching many of the injured beyond Padang, a city of 900,000 people that took the full force of the quake.
Karishma Vaswani reports from Padang.
