Nearly 400 people have been confirmed dead after a tsunami triggered by a huge earthquake hit Palu, in Indonesia.

At least 384 people have been killed, officials said, as many were swept away by giant waves while they played on a beach.

The 7.5 magnitude earthquake hit the Indonesian island of Sulawesi on Friday.

Hundreds had gathered for a festival on the beach of the city of Palu on Friday when waves up to six metres (18 feet) high smashed ashore just on dusk, sweeping many to their death and destroying anything in their path.
