Most of the evacuees were found in North Lombok, which suffers the most the impact of the shallow under-earth quake of 15 km, Sutopo noted.

"These figures are looked to extend as the risk assessment remains continuing and has not been completed. Besides, all the victims have not been discovered," he told Xinhua in a text message.
