Reese Witherspoon's father hospitalised after poolside incident in Nashville: Report
Six days after the quake hit some evacuees, reports say they have still not received assistance, particularly in the mountainous north of the island as most of the roads in Northside are damaged.
A 7.0 magnitude quake jolted Indonesia's Lombok island on Sunday after it was already hit by a 6.4 quake on July 29 that killed 17 people and briefly stranded several hundred trekkers on the slopes of a volcano.
"It's predicted the death toll will continue to grow because there are still victims who are suspected of being buried by landslides and under rubble, and there are victims that have not been recorded and reported to posts," national disaster agency spokesman Sutopo Purwo Nugroho was quoted as saying by news agency AFP.
Two people were also killed in the neighbouring tourist destination Bali which was also one of the affected islands by the earthquake.
Survivors of the quake have been shaken by hundreds of aftershocks, including a shallow 5.9-magnitude quake Thursday which caused people to flee evacuation shelters crying and screaming.
