Rescue workers in Indonesia struggled on Saturday to reach victims in several devastated areas that were hit by an earthquake and tsunami, and authorities feared the confirmed death toll of 248 would rise further.

The areas were largely cut off by damaged roads and downed communications lines. Relief aircrafts were delivering aid and supplies to the hard-hit district of Central Tapanuli in North Sumatra province and others in the region.
