Thousands of military and police personnel joined relief and rescue workers in the worst affected areas of Sulawesi island, now in its fourth day since the 7.4 magnitude earthquake and subsequent tsunami unleashed a trail of devastation. President Joko Widodo ordered officials to intensify relief and rescue operations and boost the supply of essential items as reports of looting of food and other goods emerged. Almost 800 people were seriously injured and 99 were missing, including a Belgian and South Korean, Sutopo Purwo Nugroho, a spokesman at the National Disaster Mitigation Agency, told reporters on Tuesday.
