Residents injured in an earthquake rest in a makeshift hospital in Solok, West Sumatra province March 7, 2007. A strong earthquake and a powerful aftershock hit Indonesia's Sumatra island on Tuesday, killing at least 70 people, and trapping scores more under flattened buildings. Tremors from the initial 6.3 magnitude earthquake were felt as far away as Malaysia and Singapore, where several buildings were evacuated.
