Indonesians turn to Facebook in desperate hunt for loved ones

Monday, 01 October 2018 | AFP | Jakarta

Indonesians desperate to trace loved ones missing in the earthquake and tsunami that struck the island of Sulawesi are turning to social media sites like Facebook to aid their search.

With the scale of the disaster still unclear, telecommunications patchy and some areas still out of reach, families are posting photos, descriptions of lost family members and contact numbers in the hope of learning more.

“Have you seen any of my family members in these photographs?” asks one user on one Facebook group with 6,843 members.
