The search for survivors is ongoing following a 5.6 magnitude earthquake in Indonesia. The country's national disaster agency says the number of people killed in Monday's earthquake in West Java has reached 268, many of them children. A spokesman for the administration in Cianjur, the epicentre of the earthquake - has said hundreds more had been injured.  The earthquake has caused extensive damage, destroying more than 3,000 homes. Dicky is part of the team already helping out in Cianjur. He has been at a school, tasked with pulling out the bodies of students from the rubble. Due to the amount of stone and rubble, heavy machinery cannot be used as it risks the lives of survivors. Instead, they must use their hands and small tools. "I'm not in good condition. I'm very tired but I really have the spirit because I want to help many more people."
