Indonesian authorities are facing a difficult situation as a result of a fearsome seven-man earthquake that hit the country, with the epicenter of the tourist island and many Lambok people.
At least 91 people have died so far, while 200 have been seriously injured, which could lead to an increase in the number of casualties. Operation to find troops under rubble is still ongoing.

According to CNN, some 20,000 people have been forced to flee their homes as a result of a powerful earthquake, whose shaking has also been felt in the Gili Islands.
Indonesia is continually affected by earthquakes as it is located in the "Ring of Fire", the line across the Pacific Ocean, where 90% of earthquakes occur.
