The BBC said the Indonesian authorities failed to issue any warning about tsunami hit on Saturday night. Hundreds of buildings have been damaged by sudden tsunamis
After the holiday, many people were staying on the beach.
The country's disaster management agency has so far confirmed the deaths of 222 people. The spokesman said, "222 people died in the tsunami, 843 were wounded and still 28 were missing."
He said the rescue workers are carrying out raids in hopes that someone might be living under the rubble.
The officer said that the number of casualties may increase further, "So far, rescue operation is underway under the debris. Those living can be found alive or the body may be found. Not yet full list of casualties was found from all the health centers. "
Due to the fear that tsunami could hit again, Disaster Management Authority asked the people to stay safe from the coastal areas.
The Indonesian Geophysical Agency (BMKG) is of the opinion that this tsunami has been created due to earthquake due to the volcanic eruption caused by volcanic eruptions from the Crakatoa volcano. With the effect of fullima, the surge of tsunami has swept through the sea with huge power.
