Villagers carry their belonging as they walk through mud near the ruins of houses after an earthquake hit Jono Oge village in Sigi, Indonesia's Sulawesi island, October 3, 2018. But officials fear the toll could soar, as most of the confirmed dead have come from Palu, a small city 1,500 km (930 miles) northeast of Jakarta, and losses in remote areas remain unknown, as communications are down, and bridges and roads have been destroyed or blocked by landslides.
