| Excelsior News | Nearly 400 people have been killed after a powerful earthquake triggered a tsunami that hit Indonesia's central Sulawesi island. The national disaster agency put the official death toll so far at 384, all of them in the tsunami-struck city of Palu. The agency has warned the number was likely to rise as rescue efforts continued on Saturday. In the city - home to around 350,000 people - partially covered bodies lay on the ground near the shore, the day after tsunami waves triggered by a 7.5 magnitude earthquake came ashore. The disaster agency said there were concerns about the whereabouts of hundreds of people preparing for a beach festival due to start Friday evening in Palu. Tsunami dragged cars, logs, house and hit everything on land. | Stay Updated With Latest News & Updates | Official YouTube account of DAILY EXCELSIOR , The largest circulated daily of Jammu and Kashmir Subscribe to Excelsior News | Click Here ► https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT4ZAqOV3-2s5pKnBEhh4fw To Stay Updated Download the Daily Excelsior App :- Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.dailyexcelsior IOS: https://itunes.apple.com/in/app/daily-excelsior/id1073026978 Social Media Links :- Web: http://excelsiornews.com/ Like us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dailyexcelsior/ Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/DailyExcelsior1 G+ : https://plus.google.com/u/0/118383490101465701549
