KOMPAS/BAHANA PATRIA GUPTA

Bala Roa national housing complex was completely devastated by the earthquake in West Palu District, Palu City, Central Sulawesi, Sunday (30/9/2018). The search for victims still buried under the concrete debris has been hindered by the absence of heavy equipment.

Palu is in mourning. However, many of its residents simply refuse to fall into despair. Stories of devotion are cropping up amid the severe difficulties and limitations.

Marwi, 30, of Pandere village, Gumbasa district, Sigi, came with 50 of his relatives and neighbors to the Anutapura Hospital in Palu on Sunday, Sept 30. With crowbars, shovels and hoes, they were planning to dig into the rubbles of the collapsed hospital.
