救援人員搜尋印尼地震倖存者

Rescue workers in Indonesia searched Thursday for people who might still be trapped a day after an earthquake struck Aceh province, while local officials appealed for medical supplies and other aid to help those left injuRed or without a home.

The magnitude 6.5 earthquake has killed about 100 people and injured more than 600 others. It hit the northern end of Sumatra island early Wednesday.

Thousands of people spent the night in mosques and other temporary shelters, while others slept outside. The government has declared a two-week state of emergency in Aceh.

The Indonesian Red Cross distributed blanket, hygiene kits and tarps to those affected by the earthquake and called for people to donate blood to help the injured.

Volunteers also made their way to earthquake-hit areas to rush people to hospitals, which are now overloaded with patients.

Indonesia's Climate, Meteorology and Geophysics Agency said the quake did not generate a tsunami.

Indonesia is located in an area of the world prone to earthquakes. A 2004 quake off Sumatra island triggered a tsunami that killed 230,000 in Indonesia and other countries.印尼亞齊省星期三發生地震後，救援人員星期四繼續尋找可能的生還者，當地官員呼籲爲傷者和無家可歸者提供醫藥和其他救助。

這次6.5級地震造成大約一百人死亡，六百多人受傷。地震星期三早晨發生在蘇門答臘島的北部。

數以千計的人在清真寺或其他臨時庇護所過夜，還有人睡在戶外。印尼政府宣佈亞齊省進入兩個星期的緊急狀態。

印尼紅十字會向地震受災者發放毯子，個人衛生用品和防水布，並呼籲捐血，幫助傷者。

志願者抵達災區，協助將傷員送往醫院，醫院如今已經人滿爲患。

印尼氣候，氣象和地球物理局說，這次地震沒有引發海嘯。印尼地處地震多發地帶，2004年蘇門答臘島由於地震引發海嘯，導致印尼和周邊其他國家23萬人喪生。
