A magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck Flores Island in Indonesia on Saturday, killing at least 47 people across multiple provinces in the region [1]. The quake, which occurred at 05:00 local time with a depth of 15 kilometers, triggered dozens of aftershocks and caused severe damage to hundreds of structures [1]. Death tolls were distributed across Manggarai Province with 24 fatalities, East Manggarai with 17, and Sikka with 3 [1]. More than 150 houses were heavily damaged alongside dozens of educational facilities [1].
The initial tsunami warning prompted approximately 2,000 residents to evacuate voluntarily before being lifted three hours later [1]. Rescue teams have mobilized to search for survivors amid the devastation, with 10,500 aid packages already delivered to base camps [1]. East Nusa Tenggara Province Governor Emanuel Merkiadis Laka Lena described the tragedy, stating that residents "were killed in their sleep by collapsing rubble" [1]. One villager on Sika Island, Arnold Welianto, recounted his experience: "I was awakened and immediately went to my child's room. Many people had already escaped to the mountains, as the seawater had also receded" [1].
