More than 1,900 people have been killed and thousands more injured by a strong earthquake that struck the Indonesian island of Java, officials have said.
The quake, measuring 6.2, flattened buildings in a densely-populated area near the city of Yogyakarta on the southern coast of Java.

It's really quite horrible, and there is very little international response.

Now the numbers have exceeded 5000 dead.
