Indonesia quake: Search for survivors continues

Rescuers are continuing to search for survivors in Indonesia's Aceh province a day after a powerful quake struck the area killing 102 people.

The magnitude six-point -five tremors damaged or toppled more than two hundred buildings, and many are still feared to be trapped under rubble in Pidie Jaya.

Thousands of people who lost their homes are taking refuge in shelters.

In 2004, a huge undersea quake off the coast of Aceh caused a tsunami that killed more than 160 thousand in Indonesia.

President Joko Widodo, who is currently in Bali, told reporters he will visit Aceh soon but has not given a date yet.
