Over 200 hikers have been trapped on a mountain on the Indonesian tourist island of Lombok following a deadly earthquake triggered landslides which cut off escape routes.
Hundreds of rescue workers started working to evacuate them from Mount Rinjani, a popular hiking destination.
The 6.4 magnitude earthquake struck early on Sunday not far from the base of the mountain.
At least 16 people have died, and more than 160 were injured in the quake.
Helicopter and search teams working on foot are searching the mountainside to locate the stranded climbers.
