Britain has sent rescue teams to help reach people who may still be trapped underneath the rubble. Other countries have sent medicine, blankets and food.

The earthquake and a really strong aftershock brought down hospitals, schools and shopping centres as well as causing landslides across the island.
The city of Padang, which is very close to the coast, is among the areas hardest hit by the tremors.
