Rescue teams in eastern Indonesia recovered six more bodies a day after a magnitude 7.7 earthquake. Authorities said Sunday that those bodies raised the death toll to 53. Meanwhile, many of the thousands of displaced people spent the night outdoors in fear of aftershocks. Rescuers dug through debris looking for anyone buried beneath landslides triggered by the quake across six regencies on Flores, a predominantly Catholic island in the Muslim-majority country. Officials say more than 900 homes were destroyed and 450 more damaged in East Nusa Tenggara province. That forced about 5,000 people into temporary shelters.
