At least 91 people have been killed after a powerful earthquake
hit the island of Lombok, near Bali in Indonesia.
Dozens more have been injured, while thousands of people
were evacuated from buildings to outdoor shelters.
Most of the victims were killed by falling rubble, according
to the country's National Disaster and Mitigation Agency.
According to the US Geological Survey, the magnitude 7.0
earthquake struck early on Sunday evening at a depth of 10.5km (6 miles).
Patients had to be evacuated and treated outside a hospital
in Lombok's main city Mataram after electricity was knocked out across the
island, a popular tourist destination.
The earthquake was felt in parts of neighbouring island
Bali, one of the most popular tourist destinations in the region, and
aftershocks have continued to rattle the area.
