SINABANG - The number of casualties of the earthquake that shook parts of northern Sumatra and Aceh yesterday, has risen to six. Three new victims were found in Sinabang, the district capital of Simeulue. The identity of these victims is not clear yet. One of the three victims has already been taken from the local hospital for burial earlier today. Still, dozens of victims are brought to the hospital for their injuries.
A big number of residents in Sinabang is still afraid that there will be more earthquakes. During Thursday there indeed were a number of aftershocks, but these were not stronger than 5.5 on the Richter Scale. Sometimes there are aftershocks every five minutes. The first major earthquake has also caused damage to the local and regional infrastructure. The main road between the western and eastern part of the island is heavily damaged until the point that no traffic can use the road anymore at certain points.
