International aid worth hundreds of thousands of dollars is making its way to Indonesia in places like Palu, a city struck by last Friday's earthquake and tsunami 1, the situation is desperate.


Though the official numbers of those killed on the island country is more than 1,200, officials say many are still missing. And the search for survivors 2 is complicated by blocked roads, piles of rubble 3 and mudslides.


There's reportedly been widespread looting in disaster-stricken areas, some by people looking for groceries, some by people looking to rob houses.


Indonesia's government estimates that 2.4 million people have been impacted by the quake and tsunami. Sixty-six thousand homes have been destroyed.
