Quake, tsunami kills more than 400 on Indonesia's Sulawesi island

Over 500 people have been badly injured as hospitals struggled to cope with the influx of casualties.

Indonesian president Joko Widodo said the military was being called in to the region to help search-and-rescue teams get to victims and find bodies.

Rescue efforts are under way, though hampered by a major power cut.

The main road to Palu has been blocked due to a landslide, and a key bridge is out of action.

Some government planes carrying relief supplies managed to land at the main airport in Palu, although officials said it would likely remain closed to commercial flights for days.
