The hand of an earthquake survivor is seen under rubble as residents try to rescue him.

Maj. Gen. Tatang Sulaiman, chief of the army in Aceh province, said that four people were pulled from the rubble alive, while another four or five people are known to be buried, but he didn't say if they are dead or alive. "Hopefully we would be able to finish the evacuation from the rubble before sunset," he said.
