Hundreds of people were injured in the Monday quake and officials warned the death toll was likely to rise.
Landslides and rough terrain were hampering rescue efforts, said Henri Alfiandi, head of National Search and Rescue Agency . "Most of the casualties are children, because at 1 p.m. they were still at school," he said, referring to the time the quake hit."My instruction is to prioritise evacuating victims that are still trapped under rubble," said the president.
