Indonesia's National Search and Rescue Agency says it has rescued a survivor from the ruins of the Roa-Roa Hotel in the city of Palu, which was hit hard by a powerful earthquake and tsunami.

The agency released images of a 25-year-old woman it identified as Fitri, who it said was pulled out of the rubble at 7 p.m. Sunday.

The agency released several images of the woman lying on an orange plastic stretcher, covered in a white blanket.

The magnitude 7.5 earthquake created a tsunami that formed a wall of water as high as 6 meters (20 feet) on Friday evening. More than 830 people have been confirmed dead, but officials fear the death toll could climb much higher.

Indonesian President Joko "Jokowi" Widodo says rescue teams are having difficulty recovering victims from the massive earthquake and tsunami because of a shortage of heavy equipment.

He says authorities are deploying more heavy machinery that he hopes will arrive Sunday night so emergency workers can help recover more victims on Monday.

During a visit to the hard-hit city of Palu on Sulawesi island, Jokowi said there are also shortages of fuel, electricity and food, since most shops shut down in the wake of the tragedy.

He said the government is flying in supplies by air, and urged residents of Palu to remain there to help the region recover as soon as possible.

Rescue crews are working to free a 15-year-old girl trapped under concrete in her house after it collapsed on her family during the earthquake that spawned a tsunami on Indonesia's Sulawesi island.

Unable to move her legs under the heavy concrete rubble, Nurul Istikharah was trapped beside her dead mother and niece in a village in the hard-hit city of Palu. Rescuers struggled Sunday to control water from a leaking pipe, fearing the girl may drown.

Istikharah was unconscious during part of the effort to free her, but rescuers continued to talk to her to try to keep her awake. Others offered her food and water.

A village chief says 100 to 200 people could be buried under the debris of a residential complex in the Indonesian city of Palu that was badly damaged in the deadly earthquake that spawned a tsunami and devastated the region.

Rahmansyah, the village chief, says many bodies have already been pulled from the rubble and 90 people are reportedly missing. Access to the area is extremely difficult due to damaged roads, preventing search and rescue teams from reaching the area until Sunday afternoon.

Like many Indonesians, Rahmansyah uses one name.

There are about 800 people living in the area, and all of the houses were destroyed by the magnitude 7.5 earthquake that spawned the tsunami.

The quake hit central Sulawesi island on Friday, creating a tsunami that reached as high as 6 meters (20 feet). More than 830 people have been confirmed dead, most of them in Palu.

Some 821 people died in Palu from the magnitude 7.5 quake and tsunami that struck the area on Friday. Another 11 people are confirmed dead in the regency of Donggala.

Rescuers are scrambling to try to find trapped victims in collapsed buildings where voices could be heard screaming for help after a massive earthquake that spawned a deadly tsunami in Indonesia two days ago.

The head of Indonesia's search and rescue agency Muhammad Syaugi told local online media Detik.com that he could hear people calling out from the collapsed eight-story Roa-Roa Hotel in Palu.
