Indonesian troops evacuate a body found in the ruins of a collapsed building in Gunung Sitoli, on Nias island yesterday after the 8.7 magnitude earthquake hit the area killing at least 624 people. The grim search for survivors continued on Nias yesterday, but hopes of finding anyone alive under the rubble were fading three days after the quake struck leaving hundreds dead. PHOTO: AFP
