Let us keep the dear souls caught up in this tragedy in our prayers:
A week after a major earthquake brought devastation to Indonesia's Sulawesi island, the official death toll from the quake and the tsunami it triggered stands at 1571, but it will certainly rise.
Most of the dead have been found in Palu. Figures for more remote areas, some still cut off by destroyed roads and landslides, are only trickling in, if at all.
No one knows how many people were dragged to their deaths when the ground under Petobo and nearby areas south of Palu, dissolved violently.
Sulawesi quake: Indonesia earthquake and tsunami toll rises hits 1500
