Lombok Utara district suffers the most as it is situated the nearest to the quake center, the official added.

About 1,000 holiday makers, including foreign and domestic visitors, who have been trapped in three small popular destinations, located near main Lombok island, have been rescued, Sutopo added.

Poor access of communication still hampers emergency relief efforts, he said.

Meanwhile, aids are flowing into the affected-areas, including foods, drugs, and medical personnel, the spokesman said.

In order to support relief efforts, two helicopters and communication devices were sent to the scene along with one navy hospital ship, he added.
