Indonesia's president today told search teams to keep looking for survivors of Java's tsunami, saying people had been found alive a week after the massive 2004 Indian Ocean tidal waves.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was speaking on a visit to the beach town hardest hit by Monday's tsunami that killed at least 610 people.
312 are missing and 45,000 were displaced along a 300km stretch of the south coast of Java, Indonesia's most populous island.
The 2004 tsunami killed 230,000 around the Indian Ocean, a majority of them in Indonesia's Aceh province.
Mr Yudhoyono walked along the Pangandaran beach to survey the damage from the massive waves that rolled in on Monday, smashing kiosks, houses and fishing boats, and then visited a disaster recovery command centre and the main mosque for Friday prayers.
