Indonesia tsunami: More than 300 Death
Support Mobil Keluarga Ideal Terbaik Indonesia
Rescue teams on the Mentawai islands say hundreds are still missing, two days after a 7.7-magnitude earthquake triggered a tsunami in western Sumatra.
Officials say there were faults with an early warning system designed to alert locals to the 3m-high (10ft) wave.
Indonesia's president has cut short a trip to Vietnam to visit the islands and oversee the relief operation.
Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono flew back from a meeting with regional leaders to help deal with the tsunami aftermath.
On Thursday he is expected to tour the region to monitor relief efforts. He will also be briefed on the rescue effort on Java, where an erupting volcano has caused chaos.
Warning doubts
At least 10 villages on a series of islands known as the Pagai islands are thought to have been flattened by the tsunami, caused by the earthquake late on Monday.
Waves reached 3m high and the water swept as far as 600m inland on South Pagai.
The devastation is only now beginning to emerge, says BBC Indonesia correspondent Karishma Vaswani.
The first aerial images emerging from the Mentawai Islands showed bodies being collected from empty clearings where homes and buildings once stood before they were levelled by the power of the wave.
Corpses were strewn along beaches and roads, said district chief Edison Salelo Baja.
Rescue teams are now finally on the ground, but they have yet to reach the worst affected areas, with bad weather delaying their work, adds our correspondent

Marriott and Ritz Carlton Hotels in Jakarta bombed
SIX people, including four foreigners, have been killed and at least 18 people injured after bombs exploded in Jakarta.
One blast at the Ritz Carlton reportedly blew much of the facade away from the building.
A second explosion occurred at the JW Marriott Hotel, which was also targeted in a 2003 terrorist attack by Jemaah Islamiah which killed 12.
Australians are among at least 18 people injured in the near simultaneous blasts, with a New Zealand man also seriously injured.
"We know there are six victims, six who died and there are several others injured and we have evacuated them to hospital," Jakarta police spokesman Chrysnanda Dwilaksana said.
The explosions rocked the area around 8am local time.
The Manchester United soccer team was scheduled to arrive in Jakarta on July 18 and was booked to stay at the Ritz Carlton, said Azwan Karim, media officer for the Indonesia Football Association.
Melbourne man Steve, 39, who was staying in the nearby Ballajio apartments which backs onto the Ritz, said the area had been devastated.
"I can see the ground floor and the upper floor - the breakfast buffet area has exploded and there is glass everywhere," Steve told the Herald Sun.
He said he was having a shower at 7.45am local time when he heard a loud boom.
"There was a definite thump, I was getting out of the shower and I thought that's strange to have thunder at that time of the morning," he said.
He said five minutes later another boom occurred and he understood then that the incidents were terrorist attacks and the second blast was at the Marriott, also close by.
"There are lots of police in the streets," he said.
A father told 3AW radio his son had been injured in the blasts.
A Department of Foreign Affairs spokeswoman said they were working to confirm whether Australians were among the dead or injured.
Witnesses at the scene told Indonesia's Metro TV that the injured, including Indonesians and foreigners, were seen being taken away in ambulances.
"Some windows of the Ritz-Carlton building have been shattered, mostly on the lower section. I'm looking at it from my office," said Myra Junor, who works at a nearby building.
Debris and shattered glass littered the street outside, and ambulances were being shuttled into the area.
Alex Asmasubrata, who was jogging by the hotels, said he first heard a loud explosion at the Marriott. Five minutes later, a bomb followed at the Ritz.
He saw four bodies inside the Marriott, including one with its stomach blown out.
Witnesses said they saw injured people being evacuated by car from the Ritz-Carlton hotel in the upscale Mega Kuningan business district in the centre of the city.
Police sealed off the area near the hotels, an AFP correspondent said. Windows had been blown out of a second-storey restaurant at the Ritz Carlton.
"I heard two sounds like 'boom, boom' coming from the Marriott and the Ritz-Carlton. Then I saw people running out," security guard Eko Susanto told AFP.
Witness Intan told TV One one of the explosions wrecked the lobby of the Plaza Mutiara building.
"I was having breakfast on level 16, I heard an explosion and went down to the first floor and it was a mess. I saw foreigners all bloody, about three to five of them, badly wounded," she said.

Tourism in Indonesia is an important component of the Indonesian economy and an important source of foreign exchange revenues. With a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, the second longest shoreline in the world, 300 different ethnic groups and 250 distinct languages, and tropical climate throughout the year, nature and culture are two major components of Indonesian tourism.
Tourism in Indonesia is currently overseen by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism. International tourist campaigns have been focusing largely on tropical destination with white sand beaches and blue sky imageries. Beach resorts and hotels were developed in some Indonesia islands, with Bali island as the primary destination. Cultural tourism is also an important part of Indonesia tourism industry. Toraja, Prambanan and Borobudur temples, Yogyakarta and Minangkabau are popular destinations for cultural tourism, apart from many Hindu festivities in Bali. About 5 million foreign tourists have visited Indonesia annually since 2000.
However, tourism development had sometimes clashed with local people, that has created criticism over Indonesia's tourism industry. Most of the disputes were related over land possession, local traditions (adat) and the impact of tourism development to the local people. In another area, tourism industry in Indonesia faces major threats. Since 2002, several warnings have been issued by some countries over terrorist threats and ethnic/religious conflicts in some areas, which significantly reduces the number of foreign visitors.

Former Indonesian president Suharto waves to journalists shortly after being visited by former prime minister of Malaysia Mahatir Muhammad. The Attorney General may drop its plan to re-examine former president Suharto to determine whether he is fit to stand trial because it could cost too much money. Past efforts to bring Suharto to court on corruption and human rights charges have been derailed by a statement from a team of government doctors, which said the former president was unfit to stand trial because of brain damage and permanent injury to his nervous system.
