Miracle in the rubble
Indonesia rescuers pull boy to safety after 12 hours
This is the moment a five-year-old boy is miraculously pulled alive from the rubble more than 12 hours after a tsunami hit Indonesian islands on Saturday evening.
More than 280 people were killed and 800 injured after an infamous volcano, known as the 'Child of Krakatoa' erupted and caused a 20ft wave to batter the beaches around the Sunda Strait.
A huge search and rescue operation was continuing since Sunday morning to find survivors and move the dead.
Among those who survived was a boy named Ali, who police revealed on had been pulled from a car which had become trapped under fallen trees. A police officer revealed on Instagram how the boy's cries were heard.
Officers rushed to the scene to remove wood and other island debris from the car, shining a torch into the wreckage to make out little Ali's face.
Eventually he is pulled alive crying as he clings onto the officer who saved him, as stunned crowds take pictures of Ali and the officer as he emerges muddy and upset but safe.
It is not clear whether anyone else in the car with Ali made it out of the wreckage alive.
At the Vatican, Pope Francis prayed for the dead, the missing and the homeless in Indonesia, telling tourists and pilgrims in St Peter's Square that his thoughts were with victims "struck by violent natural calamities."
US President Donald Trump tweeted support for Indonesia: "We are praying for recovery and healing. America is with you!"
Tourists who were enjoying the long holiday weekend ahead of Christmas were also affected.
