Number of deaths after Indonesia earthquake and tsunami rise to 1,347

The number of people known to have died in Indonesia in Saturday's earthquake and tsunami has gone up to 1,347.

The death toll jumped today from a previously confirmed figure of 844.

The 7.5‑magnitude quake struck just off the central island of Sulawesi, setting off a tsunami that engulfed the coastal city of Palu.

Police are guarding shops against looters as people desperately search for food, fuel and water.

Some people have since been arrested for stealing computers and cash.

Humanitarian relief convoys entering the city are being escorted by soldiers and police.

And there are fears some survivors may still be trapped under the rubble of buildings.
