A powerful 7.5 magnitude earthquake and a subsequent tsunami, reaching up to two meters high, devastated the city of Palu on Indonesia's Sulawesi island.
The disaster claimed at least 30 lives, with bodies found in various locations due to collapsing buildings and being swept away by the tsunami, and left many injured.
Widespread destruction includes damaged buildings, a collapsed bridge, and severe power outages, which significantly hampered communication and initial rescue efforts.
The region had also experienced a lighter quake earlier on Friday, which caused one fatality and several injuries in the fishing town of Donggala.
