BANTUL, Indonesia – The death toll from a 6.3-magnitude earthquake in Indonesia rose by more than 800 Monday to 5,137, according to the government. Meanwhile, emergency aid began arriving, but officials said the supplies were not reaching survivors quickly enough.
The government’s Social Affairs Ministry said the revised death toll included previously uncounted bodies buried in mass graves immediately after the quake.
