Indonesia earthquake - Oxfam is there
 Latest news: hundreds of people are believed to have died after a massive earthquake off the western coast of Sumatra measuring 8.7 on the Richter Scale. Oxfam's international rapid response assessment team have already flown from Banda Aceh to the island of Nias, which was worst affected. Alessandra Boas, a member of the assessment team, said: "The devastation is obvious as soon as you land. Many of the houses here have collapsed, but it's still too early for us to get a sense of the full scale of this. We're now on our way to the people made homeless by the quake to assess what their most urgent needs are and how we can help." The Oxfam team includes an engineer and an emergency response specialist.
