In Indonesia, 135 people listed as missing in tsunami have been found alive on high ground on a remote island. The Pagai island was devastated by a tsunami five days ago. Officials said 163 people are still listed as missing. There has been no change in the death toll of 413. A three-metre tsunami triggered by a powerful 7.7-magnitude earthquake slammed in to North and South Pagai islands late Monday night. The islands are in the remote Mentawai chain off western Sumatra. A disaster management official said the missing people had been too scared of another tsunami to leave the forests and hills above their shattered homes.
