A cousin said, ``It seems that an earthquake occurred when I was watching TV in the bedroom.There were five people in the house, including a boy, but only three survived.''
In addition, while about 2,000 people were injured, the largest hospital in Cianjur province was treated in an outdoor tent because of damage such as cracks in the outer wall.
The deputy director man said, ``The hospital building was damaged and the earthquake is still continuing, so we cannot take the risk of performing surgery, and seriously injured people are being transferred to another hospital.''
Many residents are believed to have been involved in the landslide caused by the earthquake, but since then, there have been about 170 earthquakes in succession, and since it has been raining, there is a risk that another landslide will occur, and heavy machinery will be put in. Rescue activities are in trouble.
